Selecting the language in Shopify
The language selection in Shopify takes place at the initial stage, where we decide whether it will be Shopify in Polish or in another available language.
Language selection in Shopify is available from the settings (Settings -> Languages -> Published languages):
Shopify availability in Polish
When it comes to the availability of Shopify in Polish, you can select our language from the list of available ((Settings -> Languages -> Published languages):
Support for Polish currencies and units of measurement
When it comes to Shopify in Polish, there are two key issues: support for Polish currencies and units of measurement. Shopify offers the ability to configure both:
Settings -> Store details -> Store currency & Time zone and units of measurement
Availability of Polish payment and delivery methods
When it comes to Shopify in Polish, the availability of Polish payment and delivery methods for Polish store owners is not yet as developed as in countries where Shopify has been operating longer than in our Polish market, but you can use Przelewy24 (including BLIK payments), Apple Pay and Google Pay, PayPal and Stripe, among others.
When it comes to delivery methods, most customers use Baselinker, which is responsible for order management – including generating courier waybills.
A very popular form of delivery is, of course, Paczkomat.
Available languages in Shopify
When it comes to the available languages in Shopify, it is worth highlighting that we can talk about:
- administration panel languages
- languages in which the store is displayed to customers
In both cases, the list looks slightly different. When it comes to the admin panel language, we're limited to 20 languages, while for the second group, we can rely on many available applications designed to translate the store into specific languages, so there are almost no limitations here.
Admin panel language
Regarding the language of the administration panel, the following are available:
- English
- Chinese (Simplified)
- Chinese (traditional)
- Czech
- Danish
- French
- Spanish
- Dutch
- Japanese
- Korean
- german
- Norwegian
- Polish
- Portuguese (Brazil)
- Portuguese (Portugal)
- Swedish
- Thai
- Turkish
- Vietnamese
- Italian
Over the years, Shopify has developed significantly on the Polish market, which is why Shopify in Polish is already a standard, and the Shopify administration interface in Polish is widely chosen by e-shop owners from Poland.
Account region setting
The account region setting can be divided into several components:
- Business data (Billing information):
- Shop location:
- Shopify markets:
Managing languages in Shopify
Language management in Shopify is done here:
Settings -> Languages
As part of the settings, language management in Shopify allows you to, among other things, indicate the main language, add new ones, import and export, for example, CSV files with translations, and publish specific languages that were previously being worked on.
Adding new languages to the online store
Adding new languages to your online store is done from the Shopify settings:
Store panel -> settings -> languages -> add a language
Translations in Shopify
Translations into other languages in Shopify are most often made using the Translate & Adept translation app, which looks like this:
Using a website translation app, as described above, is a very convenient solution, but it's not the only option. You can also use apps from the Shopify App Store that will translate your Polish Shopify store on the fly, often relying on Google Translate.
Automatic translation with Shopify Translate
The process of translating content using the previously mentioned Shopify Translate & Adept application works as follows: first, we define the languages that the store should support – thanks to this, we can choose the languages we are interested in:
From the application point of view, you can freely choose which element of translation you want to work on:
The fact that we can easily use Shopify in Polish has certainly encouraged more Polish entrepreneurs to implement this SaaS engine. Without a doubt, Shopify offers many possibilities, and the wide range of translation options available to Shopify-based store owners clearly demonstrates that Shopify is ideal not only for local sales but also for global sales.
