00:00.080 --> 00:05.420
So now that your store is available to an international market, you may now want to translate it into

00:05.420 --> 00:06.440
different languages.

00:06.440 --> 00:09.230
After all, it would make an awful lot of sense.

00:09.230 --> 00:10.580
So how do we do that?

00:10.610 --> 00:15.200
Well, to demonstrate this, I'm going to translate my store into Portuguese.

00:15.200 --> 00:20.630
And to get started, I'll therefore click in to the Portugal primary market where you see this for every

00:20.630 --> 00:26.750
single market languages and domains, meaning that we can associate any language we want with any market.

00:26.750 --> 00:31.130
So in this case clicking into this at the moment it's set of course to English.

00:31.130 --> 00:35.930
Now to be able to easily offer our store in Portuguese, we want to use an app.

00:35.930 --> 00:39.050
And you can see that Shopify wants us to use this app below.

00:39.050 --> 00:41.030
Shopify Translate and Adapt.

00:41.030 --> 00:45.470
And although it is free in my opinion, it really isn't that great.

00:45.470 --> 00:50.570
And since, as you know, I only suggest the best possible apps on this course, I would like to show

00:50.570 --> 00:51.500
you another app.

00:51.500 --> 00:53.990
But of course you can use this if you so wish.

00:53.990 --> 00:58.910
So let me come out of here, go to apps and then in the search bar type.

00:58.910 --> 01:00.890
Well what kind of a funny name.

01:00.890 --> 01:03.740
But you're going to see this when you translate your store.

01:03.740 --> 01:09.320
Click on this and you see the headline translate your store into multiple languages without any code,

01:09.320 --> 01:11.330
which I'm sure you find very appealing.

01:11.330 --> 01:15.080
So let's simply go ahead and install install once again.

01:15.080 --> 01:21.050
I'll then choose a password to kick off my free trial and click on Sign Up where we can then choose

01:21.050 --> 01:21.740
the language.

01:21.740 --> 01:26.840
So of course, originally we are showing it in English, but now I want to show it in English and also

01:26.840 --> 01:27.770
Portuguese.

01:27.770 --> 01:30.740
So I need to select Portuguese from this list.

01:30.740 --> 01:34.910
So scrolling on down towards the bottom here, here is Portuguese.

01:34.910 --> 01:37.250
I select that and then click on save.

01:37.250 --> 01:41.510
Then a small technical point to actually activate the app on the store itself.

01:41.510 --> 01:42.830
So click on activate.

01:42.830 --> 01:44.990
It then takes me to the theme editor.

01:44.990 --> 01:50.330
So just make sure that this slider is over here on the right hand side and then click on save.

01:51.440 --> 01:57.110
And now when I go back to the installation process and click on Check Activation, you can see that

01:57.110 --> 02:00.620
it now says Wiglet is working and translating your website.

02:00.620 --> 02:02.180
It's all set up correctly.

02:02.180 --> 02:04.010
So then I can click on continue.

02:04.010 --> 02:06.680
And believe it or not, it now says a well done.

02:06.680 --> 02:09.110
Your website is now a multilingual.

02:09.110 --> 02:13.340
Visit your website and try the language button at the bottom right of your website.

02:13.340 --> 02:14.900
So let's do exactly that.

02:14.900 --> 02:16.250
Let's go to the store.

02:16.250 --> 02:21.890
So clicking on visit your website where I draw your attention to the language button in the bottom right

02:21.890 --> 02:23.360
hand corner of the website.

02:23.360 --> 02:26.000
And as you can see here at the moment it's set to English.

02:26.000 --> 02:29.420
But if I select this I can now change it to Portuguese.

02:29.420 --> 02:34.160
And when I do, everything on my site is instantly changed to Portuguese.

02:34.160 --> 02:37.100
I'm sure you would agree that that is very impressive.

02:37.100 --> 02:41.540
Now, having said that, if you're a native Portuguese speaker looking at this, you might be thinking,

02:41.540 --> 02:42.770
well, hang on a second.

02:42.770 --> 02:48.170
That Portuguese is not exactly perfect because of course, at the end of the day, this app is using

02:48.170 --> 02:49.850
an auto translate facility.

02:49.850 --> 02:54.230
So if that was the case and you did want to make some alterations, then of course you can do that.

02:54.230 --> 03:00.140
And if I go back to the app itself, up the top here, you can see there's a button edit my translations

03:00.140 --> 03:01.280
when I click on this.

03:01.280 --> 03:06.650
And then on Manage Translations you can see the English to Portuguese is the current translation.

03:06.650 --> 03:12.020
And if I click on this, it brings up an editor with, in my case, English on one side and Portuguese

03:12.020 --> 03:12.770
on the other.

03:12.770 --> 03:17.870
And if I wanted to change this, all I would need to do is to click into it and make any changes that

03:17.870 --> 03:18.440
I like.

03:18.440 --> 03:23.570
So that's all very impressive, but at the same time, having to come down and click on this little

03:23.570 --> 03:28.700
language selection button down in the bottom right hand corner is kind of a fiddly process, and it's

03:28.700 --> 03:31.490
also likely that your customers may not see it at all.

03:31.490 --> 03:36.980
So what would be better is if the system were able to detect, in my case, that I'm in Portugal and

03:36.980 --> 03:41.270
immediately show me the store in Portuguese without me having to do anything?

03:41.270 --> 03:44.990
Well, good news, because Wiglet also offers that capability.

03:44.990 --> 03:53.030
And so back on the app, scrolling down under the advanced settings, you see this auto redirection.

03:53.030 --> 03:54.440
Enable auto switch.

03:54.440 --> 04:00.800
If you want to automatically redirect visitors based on their browser language, and if I click on manage

04:00.800 --> 04:06.320
and then on Manage Translations once again, but this time under the settings, I'll click on general.

04:06.320 --> 04:08.900
And here is the auto switch that they're talking about.

04:08.900 --> 04:14.360
And so if I switch this on now my site is going to show in Portuguese for anyone who set their browser

04:14.360 --> 04:15.830
language to Portuguese.

04:15.830 --> 04:20.780
And should that fail for any reason, you can see here that there's an auto switch fallback, meaning

04:20.780 --> 04:24.620
that it would show the store in the original language, which of course is English.

04:24.620 --> 04:30.500
And so to complete the activation, all I need to do is to put in my proper website URL and then simply

04:30.500 --> 04:32.240
click on Save changes.

04:32.240 --> 04:37.430
And so now I hope you can really see how simple it is to translate your store into other languages as

04:37.430 --> 04:39.470
your business goes international.
