ENABLE LANGIFY IN YOUR THEME
Using Langify is our opinion the best way to translate only the widget, while keeping everything else untouched, It also doesn't have any compatibility issues with other apps in this case. There are some additional steps you need to take in the app to make it ready to use first, though.
Follow these instructions to get the app ready for translations:
- Click on “Add new language” and select the desired translation language.
- Make sure you enable it by clicking on the switch.
- Enable Langify in your theme, by clicking on “Theme settings” and follow the instructions on screen.
- Embed the app in your Shopify store.
- Set up a language switcher, so your customers can switch between languages and access the translations. (We used the simple Native Dropdown, but you can customize it to your liking.)
- Save changes and you are done!
TRANSLATE BUNDLER LANGIFY
Finally, we get to the stage, where we can translate Seal Subscriptions and it's subscription widget. Since the subscription widget text is entered manually by the user, it's a bit harder to translate using normal means, but using Langify might prove to be the most effective.
Here's how you translate the subscription widget of our app:
- Go to the Langify homepage and click on “Custom.”
- Click on “Product pages” and than select “Add new custom content.”
- Enter the text you want to translate, for example: Buy in bulk and get a discount!.
- A new window will appear, where you can compare your translations side-by-side. Enter the translated text on the right.
- Repeat this for all the elements you'd like to translate.
- Save changes and you are finished!
- You can check out how it looks on your store, by opening a product page with a bundle currently active and using the switcher to select the translated language.
