Languages in Shopify control two things:
  • The storefront language your customers see (English, Italian, Arabic, etc.)
  • The wording used for buttons, labels, and messages across your store
Supercycle has its own language settings for app blocks and features.

​
Add a new language

You can add languages separately in Shopify and Supercycle.
  • Adding a language in Shopify makes it available for your storefront and theme content.
  • Adding a language in Supercycle makes it available for Supercycle app blocks and methods.
For a customer to see a second language in Supercycle blocks, that language must be active in both Shopify and Supercycle.

Add language in Supercycle

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Supercycle > Settings > Languages.
  2. Add the language you want to use in Supercycle.
  1. Save your changes.
If this language is also active in Shopify, customers will see Supercycle content in that language when browsing the translated storefront.

​
Multiple languages by market

When you add a new language in Shopify, you can assign it to a specific market (store or country).
  • If your store already has more than one published language, Shopify automatically displays a language selector in the storefront header.
  • Customers can switch between languages from this dropdown.
  • Supercycle respects this selection and shows its content in the chosen language if it’s been added to Supercycle.

​
Edit wording

Both Shopify and Supercycle allow you to edit wording:
  • In Shopify, wording changes apply to your storefront theme and general site content.
  • In Supercycle, wording changes apply to Supercycle app blocks and features.
