Why Shopify showing short form of all Emirates of UAE in the address

[seekerinfo]

In order notifications and other areas I can see all emirates of UAE are shown as a short form.
eg. Duba : DU, Sharjah: SH etc.
Can we show them as full form or hide them?

Unfortunately, Shopify doesn’t provide a built-in way to change or hide these abbreviations in order notifications directly. However, you could customize the notification templates in Settings > Notifications to manually replace the abbreviations with full names. It’s a bit of a workaround but should do the trick!

Hey @seekerinfo ,

Yes, you can change how the emirates are displayed by adjusting the code in your Shopify theme, depending on where these abbreviations appear.

Here are two potential approaches:

1. Show Full Names:

-Locate the relevant template file in your theme (such as order-confirmation.liquid , email templates, or wherever the abbreviation appears).

-Replace any instances of short codes like DU with the full name (e.g., Dubai ).

-You might need to use a conditional or mapping function in your Liquid code to convert abbreviations to full names.

2. Hide Abberiations:

-If you prefer to hide the region abbreviation completely, you could comment out or remove the code section that displays the region abbreviation.

-If using Liquid, you could add a conditional statement to check if the region field exists, and only display it if needed.

If you're unsure where to make these changes, I can assist you in locating the template based on where the abbreviation appears in your store's workflow (e.g., order confirmation emails, customer account sections, etc.). Feel free to reach out to me via email anytime—I'd be happy to assist you with my full expertise.

Thanks for the reply guys, I tried to find such files like: order-confirmation.liquid , email templates etc. but I was not able to find where are the abbreviations of emirates.  Can you please help me to find the Emirates abbreviations? I am using the Dawn 15.0 theme.
