langify can be published directly within the Embedded Apps section of your Shopify Theme Customizer.

Publishing langify is important for the use of Custom Content and Image translations, and any of the features of the Switcher Configurator and Theme Settings tab on the dashboard — for example: the language switcher or the language detection.


If you published langify to your theme prior to the 1st of February 2024 and want to update to the newer publishing method as embedded app, please see our guide Updating from the Old to the New Publishing Method.
