How can I localize "Buy it now" button in dawn theme?

I want it to show different texts for two versions of my shop: Russian and Hebrew.

 

And one more question: how to apply RTL direction of the text? In order to change direction in only one of version - in Hevrew version.

Hello @Andrey_tea ,

To localize the "Buy it now" button in different languages, it may need some technical skills. However, you can consider to learn about us here . With Transcy, you can skip the complex steps and localize your button in just few simple steps. 

 

And for the question how to apply RTL direction of the text, you can try following these steps:

1. Go to Online store -> Themes -> Click Action -> Choose Edit code

2. Navigate the "assets" folder and open the "theme.scss.liquid" file.

3. Add this code at the bottom of the file

[data-direction="rtl"] {
  direction: rtl;
}

4. Save changes and go to the "theme.scss.liquid" file.

5. Go to the "locales" folder and open the language file for the Hebrew language ("he.json").

6. Find the key for the "Buy it now" button text and add a new key-value pair for the direction of the text. Example: 

"add_to_cart": {
  "text": "לקנייה עכשיו",
  "direction": "rtl"
}

7. Save and go to the "sections" folder and open the "product-template.liquid" file.

8. Find the code for the "Buy it now" button and add the "data-direction" attribute to set the direction of the text. For example:

<button type="submit" name="add" id="add-to-cart" class="btn btn--secondary-accent{% if section.settings.enable_payment_button %} btn--payment{% endif %}" data-direction="{{ 'add_to_cart.direction' | t }}">
   {% include 'icon-bag' %}
   {{ 'add_to_cart.text' | t }}
</button>

9. Save and test.

Hey @Andrey_tea , 'Buy it now' cannot be edited unfortunately, however it should be translated by Shopify for Hebrew and Russian. Are you still having this problem?

 

RTL is not currently natively supported by Dawn, but it is under consideration.

I am facing the same issue with Bulgarian. Can we file an issue for a translation of the "Buy it now" button? How to do so?
Currently, I am using this workaround.
