How can I translate my store's name into different languages?

[pokeka]

Hello,

I searched everywhere but surprisingly didn't find anyone else with the same problem. How can I translate the "Store name" into other languages? Store name as in the "Basic Information" settings in the Store Details page.

The store name appears in many places on the website (eg: Footer) but more importantly it's the title when searching on Google. It's quite a bad experience to show the original language on google in the title when the whole website is translated.

I exported the translations sheet but I couldn't find the store name row. I'm also using a translations app but there is no mention of the store name at all. Btw I'm using markets with different domains to show the languages.

Seems like a trivial problem but I cannot find any info about this so please if someone knows tell me.

Hi @pokeka, 

Please follow the below steps to change the basic information of your store

1. Log into Shopify admin on your desktop computer.
2. Click Settings on the bottom of the left navigation menu.
3. You'll see your current store name in the Store name field.
4. Click the Save button on the top right to save your changes.

Please also take a look at the below screenshot.

Thank you.

Hello!

Thank you but this is about translating the store name, not setting it.

Still now answer? We'd like to have some reaction from the Shopify team here, that's a big issue. My store name is different in french and in english. How can we have the store name translated?

Was there any solution found for this problem? Very frustrating it is unaddressed!

You can solve this in theme code.

• Open: Online store > themes > ... > edit code
• Open footer.liquid in Sections folder
• Search for "shop.name"
• Replace this code as : (meaning commenting out existing shop.name usage)

{% comment %}
<small class="copyright__content"
    >&copy; {{ 'now' | date: '%Y' }}, {{ shop.name | link_to: routes.root_url -}}
</small>
{% endcomment %}

•  Add your own custom name declaration, in below sample with domain name 

<small class="copyright__content"
    >&copy; {{ 'now' | date: '%Y' }}, {{ request.host | remove: "https://" | upcase | link_to: routes.root_url -}}
</small>

resulting in :

To write your own switch case to determine your custom shop name string, use this liquid variable :

localization.language.iso_code

or from request object in an example like this :

{% if request.locale.iso_code == 'fr' %}
french content
{% else %}
english content
{% endif %}
