Hi @meirznakash2023, looking today (27th June) your store only has Hebrew. To enable users to browse in English you will need to use English as well, and add translations - then publish. 

 

Flags are not associated with languages by default. E.g. I'm British and using the USA flag to represent the language English would be unwelcome. Note that you will also have country selectors, so adding flags to languages will create confusion. But if this were something you wanted you could get custom coding done.

Hello @meirznakash2023 ,

 

You can try to follow these steps:

  1. Verify language setup: Check the app's configuration and ensure that English is selected as a supported language.
  2. Check footer translation: If the language selector in the footer is not changing, it's possible that the translation for the footer text has not been set up correctly. Review the translation settings and confirm that the footer text is properly configured for translation.
  3. Add language flags to the main menu: To display language flags in the main menu for language selection, you can follow these steps:

a. Identify the location in your theme's code where the main menu is defined, usually located in the theme's header or navigation section.

b. Edit the code to include the necessary HTML and CSS to display the flags. You can use the <img> tag to insert the flag images and apply CSS styling to position them correctly.

c. Make sure that the flags are linked to the respective language versions of your site. You can use Shopify's language URL filtering feature to generate the appropriate language-specific URLs for each flag.

 

Hope this can help.

Transcy.
