Select additional languages

The first step in translating your store is to select the additional languages you want your store to be displayed in.

This section applies to both OSF and Storefront Classic. This section applies to Open Storefront Framework (OSF) and Storefront Classic.

Once you select additional languages, a new dropdown list appears at the top of the administration interface. When you are ready to translate components of your catalog and store into a new language, select that language from the list before you start translation tasks.

To select additional languages your store supports:

  1. Click the Settings icon.
  2. Select Setup from the Settings list.
  3. On the Location tab, click the Additional Store Languages field and select a language. See Languages supported by the storefront for the available options.

    Repeat this step for each new language your store will support.

When you remove any of the additional languages, shoppers can no longer select them from the Language list on your store.

To remove a supported language from your store:

  1. Click the Settings icon.
  2. Select Setup from the Settings list.
  3. On the Location tab, in the Additional Store Languages field, click the X icon in the corner of the language you want to remove.
