Overview

Upcart’s Translations feature lets you change the phrasing and language of your cart’s interface elements. Whether you want to adjust default wording or serve customers in multiple languages, everything can be managed directly inside Upcart. If you need to support multiple languages, you’ll first need to set them up in your **Shopify admin language settings **. Once that’s done, all translation editing happens inside Upcart.

​
Step 1 - Add Languages in Shopify Admin

Before a language can be used in Upcart, it must be added in your Shopify admin settings.
  1. In Shopify, go to Settings > Languages
  2. Add each language you want your store and cart to support
Important:
  • All languages must be added here first if you want your cart to display in multiple languages
  • Once added, they will appear in Upcart’s language dropdown
Note: If you only want to edit or rephrase your existing cart text, you can skip this step. Language Shopify

​
Step 2 - Translate Your Cart in Upcart

  1. Go to Upcart > Manage all carts
  2. Select the cart you want to translate
  3. Click the Translate button
  4. Choose a language from the dropdown
  5. Add or update your translations
Click Save in the top right when you are done. Upcart Translation

How the Translations Editor Works

You can edit any field directly.
