How to Configure Custom Language Codes

Assign unique language codes to your custom languages so the system can automatically detect each customer's store language and display the matching content.

Overview

The Custom Language feature allows you to assign a unique Language Code to each additional language in your store. The system automatically detects the buyer’s store language and displays the corresponding localized content, providing a seamless shopping experience.


Matching Rules

Content will be displayed when the store language code matches the assigned

Language Code.

Example:
If a language code is set to th, the system will detect a store language of cs and display content in Czech.


Guidelines for Selecting a Language Code

  • When creating a new language, the dropdown initially shows “Select a language code”.

  • A language code is required; leaving it blank will trigger a prompt.

  • Each code must be unique within the store. Already-used codes will not appear in the dropdown.

  • Selecting a duplicate code will prevent saving, and a message will indicate the code is already in use.


Important Notes

  • Only languages supported by Shopify can be used: Shopify Language Codes

  • Each language code must be unique and can only be selected once.

  • After setup, the system automatically displays content based on your customers’ store language.
