Hi @NMM1

To change your Shopify policies to Swedish language, you can follow these steps:

  1. Go to your Shopify admin dashboard and click on “Settings” from the bottom left corner of the screen.
  2. Select “Legal” from the drop-down menu and click on “Create from template” or “Edit” button next to the policy you want to translate.
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “Add another language”.
  4. From the language drop-down menu, select “Swedish”.
  5. Edit the policy text in the Swedish language and click on “Save”.

Repeat these steps for all your policies. Once you have translated your policies into Swedish, your customers will be able to view them in that language.

Hi @BSS-Commerce - step 3 doesn’t exist as far as I know - unless you’ve seen otherwise?

Hi @NMM1 , create a policy in your default language, save, and then a button will appear that says ‘Localize’. This will open Translate & Adapt. You can then translate manually in the app. You can also access this via the app homepage. Please note that we don’t offer auto-translation for policies, for legal reasons.
