Translations guide for Pre-order Shopify theme

Add more languages easier than ever before!

The theme already has English, Spanish, and French.

Auto-translate

  1. Store admin > Settings > Languages > Add language (select desired language)
  2. Click the newly added language and select 'Translate & Adapt'
  3. Click 'Auto-translate'
  4. Publish translation

Manual-translate

  1. Store admin > Settings > Languages > Add language (select desired language)
  2. Click the newly added language and select 'Translate & Adapt'

  4. Publish translation

JSON-translate

JSON-translate method is NOT recommended!

Please use the above 'Translate & Adapt' methods because they are far less cumbersome.
The only reason to use this method is if you need to add more than 20 additional languages.

  1. Theme code editor > open 'locales' folder > click 'Add new locale'
  2. Select to duplicate 'en.default.schema.json' and name it the proper language code
  3. Manually translate (be careful, invalid JSON formatting will invalidate the entire translation file)
  4. Save file
