Topic summary

A user asks whether product images can be customized for different languages on their Shopify store.

Current Limitations:

  • Shopify’s native Translate & Adapt app only supports text translation, not product images or other media.
  • Shopify Markets features allow regional localization but don’t natively handle language-specific images.

Suggested Solutions:

  • Use third-party apps like ETranslate or EZ Product Image Translate to assign different product images based on customer language/region.
  • Alternatively, customize the theme code directly (requires technical expertise or hiring a Shopify Expert).

Status: The discussion provides workarounds but confirms no native Shopify solution exists. Multiple respondents recommend the EZ Product Image Translate app as the preferred tool for this functionality.

Can I add different product images for different languages?

Hi @ErsahSolmaz ,

You can use various Shopify Markets features to localize your store for different regions and countries, and the Translate & Adapt app can be used to create custom content for these regions. However, at this time the app can only be used for written content and not product images or other media.

To achieve this, you could use an app such as ETranslate which I believe allows for product images to be region-specific. An alternative option would be make change’s to your theme’s code to allow for this customization, although this is not something Shopify can support directly. You could consider hiring a Shopify Expert if you need help making these changes.

Hi @ErsahSolmaz ,

Currently, Translate & Adapt handles text translations but not product images. For different images based on the customer’s language, you can use the EZ Product Image Translate app. This app allows you to set language-specific images for your products.

If you need to customize the theme code, consider consulting a Shopify Expert. The EZ Product Image Translate app should simplify this process for you.

Best regards!
