StoreFront Languages
StoreFront Languages lets you translate your storefront content into multiple languages so shoppers can browse in their own. Translation is automatic, and you can support up to 60 languages.
Navigate: Main Menu → Storefronts → Choose Storefront Host → (Storefronts Menu) Languages
Adding and managing languages
To add another language to your UltraCart storefront:
-
Navigate to the Languages tab in your Storefront.
-
Review the translation cost associated with your storefront's content, which appears in the paragraph above the Language list.
-
Enable the desired language by checking the corresponding box. You can also enable all languages using the "enable all" checkbox.
-
Save your settings.
If your theme does not support internationalization (i18n), you will need to upgrade to a theme that does.
