Get started with langify in 3 simple steps. Add a language, translate your content, and publish it to your store.
1. Add a Language & Start Translating
In your Dashboard, open the Languages section and click Add New Language in the upper-right corner. Choose the language from the options available.
Once the language is added, you can start translating right away. You have the choice to use machine translation or translate manually. For an overview of all translatable sections, check our Translate your Store guide.
2. Publish Your Language
When your translations are ready, publish the language to make it available to your customers. In the Languages section of your Dashboard, toggle the slider next to the language. Grey means unpublished, blue means published.
After publishing, make sure the language is assigned to a market or domain in Shopify — otherwise it won't be accessible to visitors. See our How to assign languages to domains/markets guide for the full steps.
3. Publish langify to Your Theme
Go to Dashboard > Theme Settings and click Open Customize Theme Editor. This takes you to the App Embeds section in Shopify's Theme Customizer, where you can enable langify on your theme. For a full walkthrough, see our Publishing langify guide.
Once enabled, the langify language switcher is automatically added to your store. If you have spread your languages across multiple markets, you will need to manage the switcher links manually — see our Market Domains guide for details.
Want to customize the position or appearance of the language switcher? You can do that at any time using the Switcher Configurator. We can also set it up for you — just email us at support@langify-app.com.
