Checkout

Checkout languages

Your checkout can show in 9 languages, either one you pick or each shopper's own browser language.

The languages are English, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano, Nederlands, Português, Dansk and עברית (Hebrew).

  1. Open the builder and the Theme & text panel.
  2. To use one language for everyone, leave Auto-detect language off and pick your Checkout language.
  3. To follow each shopper's browser, turn Auto-detect language on and pick a Fallback language. The fallback is used when a visitor's language is not one we support.

Your own wording

  • Built-in labels follow the checkout language.
  • A custom pay button label also follows the checkout language and auto-translates.
  • Each block has an Auto-translate switch. Turn it off to keep your exact text.
  • Labels you leave blank in Labels & text keep the built-in wording for that language.

Labels & text also works per language. Pick a language at the top of the panel, then reword the labels, the payment error messages and a few thank-you page sentences for shoppers who read that language. Anything you wrote before keeps showing in the checkout language you picked. A shopper in another language sees what you wrote for their language, or the built-in wording in it. Words in braces, like {name}, must stay in the text, because they are filled in for each shopper.

Thank-you page

The thank-you page uses the same language rule as your checkout.

Hebrew reads right to left

In Hebrew the whole checkout and the thank-you page read right to left: the form, the order summary, the payment error messages and the order confirmation. Prices and discount codes keep their usual order. Shoppers whose browser is set to Hebrew get it automatically when Auto-detect language is on.

In Hebrew and Danish the payment box itself shows in English, because our payment partner offers no Hebrew or Danish version yet.
