Can you change your translation of draft into German. Zugluft means wind in your room. What you wanted to say ENTWURF, didn´t you?

Hey @ReinhardFuchs!

Just to clarify, are you wanting to translate your theme or Shopify Admin into German?

Shopify Theme Language

Although Shopify themes are in English, some themes have more than one language option. These themes include translations of all of the text content in your online stores, such as contact information and cart and checkout information.

For themes that include multiple languages, you can simply change the theme language. If your theme doesn't have the language that you want, then you can create the translations yourself. You can only have one language active on your online store.

If you would like to offer multiple languages, you have the option to use a language app like Langify:

Shopify Admin Language

If you would like to change the admin language to one of our supported options, you can do so by heading to the Settings > Accounts (or Plans and permissions) > Staff account section of your admin. After that, you should be able to choose your preferred language from the drop-down list as shown here:

If you are unable to see the language option within the staff account settings, you can opt-in instead here:

The country where you operate your business can impact how you design your online store and what information you provide to your customers. Regulations, buyer expectations, and language considerations can help determine what information you include on your online storefront and product pages. We have a fantastic guide relevant for merchants selling in Germany which you can check out below:
