How can I display product titles in English while my store's locale is set to French?

Technical Q&A

Hey, I’m wondering if someone has any idea how to approach this.

Let’s say my store’s locale is currently set to French but I would like to display the product title on PDP in English (so the ‘en’ locale), how do I go about it? Is there a liquid syntax for getting the title in a particular locale?

Hi @chideraa ,

Can you explain more about ‘product title on PDP’?

I will check it

Hi Chideraa, did you manage to work this out? I’m trying to achieve the same thing. Basically with the below code, but not sure where/how to get the English product.title

{% if localization.language.iso_code == 'ja' %}
  {{ product.title }}
{% endif %}

Unfortunately not! I asked tech support too and no dice :disappointed_face:

Damn, that’s unfortunate. We’ve gone the route of using a metafield for the Japanese title. So the product has an English title (primary language), but no Japanese title on the product itself.

Code example for anyone that is interested

{% if localization.language.iso_code == 'ja' and product.metafields.translation.title_ja %}
  {{ product.metafields.translation.title_ja }}
{%- endif -%}

Thanks, this is the only way I can think of that will work, too.
