Language problem if you switch from "all products" page to a specific product

SH-munich · ‎03-05-2023

Hi everyone,

If I switch to my second store language (not my main language) and if I go to an all products page - where you can get an overview of all products, the language is still fine.

If I then click on a specific product, the language switches to my main language.

The problem is that the URL is not taking the language identifier .. any solutions for that?

Thanks a lot!

Hello @SH-munich ,

We are Transcy - The #1 Translator and Currency Converter.

You may configure your language settings to ensure that the language identifier is properly included in the URL for all pages, including product pages. Here's how:

Go to your Online Store -> Themes -> Actions -> Edit Code
In the code editor, locate the "theme.liquid" file and open it.
Look for the <html> tag and add lang="{{ shop.locale }}" after it. This will add the language code to the HTML tag, which will help search engines and other systems identify the language of your website.
Save and go back to your Themes page -> Customize and click on "Language"
Here, you can add additional languages and set the language prefix for each language.
Save your changes and then test

Hope this can help, please hit us up if you have any further questions.

Have a nice day,

Transcy team.

Hey @SH-munich , something on your store is not using the 'Routes object' - which means that locales get passed through. When I look at a collection, whilst in English, and hover over a product, I can see that the link doesn't contain /en/. Usually this is caused by 3rd party apps. If you use any apps that present your collections in a certain way, such as filter apps, try turning them off and refreshing. If the locale works, then this is the issue - and speak to their developers and ask them to use the routes object (https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/routes).
