App admin language

Change the language of the app's admin interface, and understand what it does not affect.

The app's admin can be displayed in eighteen languages. This setting is for you and your staff. It does not affect what your customers see.

Where it is

The language control is in the top-right of the Dashboard, and shows the current language with its flag.

Select it and choose a language. The app reloads in that language.

The admin language control is on the Dashboard, top right.

The eighteen languages

What it changes, and what it does not

Changes	Does not change
Menu names, page titles, setting labels, buttons	Anything on your storefront
Help text and tooltips inside the app	Your option labels and values — those are option content
Validation messages you see while building	The messages customers see — those are widget text
Your view of the app	What your colleagues see. It is per user

This setting does not change anything on your storefront. To show translated options to your customers, translate the option content and the widget text instead.

Notes

• The setting is saved, so you do not need to set it again.

• Changing it reloads the app.

• Your Shopify admin language is separate — set that in Shopify.

• Screenshots and menu names in this documentation are in English. If you work in another language, match the menus by their position on the screen.
