Once we have a solution for ‘adding’ bilingualism to an existing theme, we’ll be sure to post it here. Here is one example where we customised our Bilingual Theme to look like the “Minimal Theme” > (English/Spanish). The other option is: We have customised some stores to look like an existing theme. If you change theme, you would not lose any pages, products or navigation, but you’d need to re-do the theme settings (logo etc). There are more details about exactly which theme settings are available for customisation here: You can customize the theme to suit your business of course – just like with other themes – by adding your logo, changing fonts, changing colours, and so on.

We’re working on a solution for this – but at the moment, the manual effort required to ‘build in’ all the pieces would be too high in cost for most businesses. Unfortunately, because there are so many (hundreds of) places in a theme where we need to translate text, it’s not possible to just ‘add’ the bilingual functionality to an existing store. Our Theme is a template in and of itself, so if you decided to change in order to get the bilingual functionality, the look and design of your store will change to that of our theme’s design, your current design would no longer be visible.

What Else Can You Tell Me About The Theme? Our theme will be is significantly smoother, and take users directly to where they want to be, in their chosen language. For example: if you’re on a product page, and click a different language, you are sent straight back to the home page (not the same product page), and have to find the product again. You could also try the “Shopify Translator App”, but this does not work well in our experience. This is expensive and difficult to manage. You could create two separate stores on two separate domains, and a link between them. The short answer is, until now, there were several ‘workaround’ solutions. You can start adding text content to your store across two languages.

You simply download the theme (or install it directly onto your store), choose your languages, set up your preferences in Theme Settings, and you’re done. Finally, an elegant solution for dual languages on Shopify. No more long pages with two languages on each. A language “toggle” will allow your customers to switch between the two languages, anywhere on your website. Our theme – currently in the final stages of development – now available – allows store owners to add content, product information, menus, navigation, and buttons, in two languages. In second quarter 2013, the first ever bilingual Shopify theme will be released by us here at Shopify Ninjas. It’s well known that this has been an oft-requested feature in Shopify for over 4 years. Until now, there was no good solution for Shopify ECommerce store owners who wanted to show their website in more than one language.
