Does Plak support Multi-languages feature?

Plak is compatible with selling in 21 languages, but the standard Shopify multi-languages features will not allow you to translate your content (such as product titles and description) .

For a complete translation of your site, you need to install a third party language translation app

Multiple languages Shopify limitations

  • You can translate your store up to  5 additional languages only ( 20 for Shopify Plus merchants).
  • Tags (such as product, collection, article and blog tags) can’t be translated and this may impact some existing features from being displayed properly, such as the Colors & Sizes swatches on collection filter sidebar

If you plan to build a multi-language Shopify store, mainly for combined LTR and RTL languages, we invite you to use our paid custom tasks for the best quality and to ensure that every feature will be working properly for several languages at the same time.

What about Arabic language ?

As Shopify doesn’t support a direct switch to Arabic on the theme editor, we have separated Plak Arabic from the other languages.

Once you purchase a Plak licence, a separated ZIP file containing Plak in Arabic is joined

The theme editor is in Arabic only, the cart and checkout pages were also translated to Arabic, Learn more about Plak in Arabic
