How can I upload different images for different languages?

Topic summary

Main issue: Show different images depending on the selected language in a translated Shopify store.

  • Clarification requested: Whether the images are on the homepage and if language-specific images should change based on the customer’s language.
  • Proposed approach: Use multiple domains or subdomains with separate Shopify stores (Shopify accounts) to duplicate pages and redirect customers to the appropriate language site. Example: yourshopname.com (one region) and yourshopname.au / yourshopname.ca (other regions).
  • Definitions: A subdomain is a prefix to the main domain (e.g., fr.yourshopname.com). Separate Shopify accounts means running distinct store instances per domain/language.
  • Current update: A subdomain is already set up for translations, but the goal is to have two languages on a single website while swapping images per language on the same page.
  • Outcome: No built-in method within one store/page was provided. The discussion remains open, and it’s unclear if Shopify supports language-specific images without using multiple domains/stores.

Hello,

I have a question, how i can upload diferent images for diferent languages? I have translated shop to two languages, but on both languages are the same images, how i can change the images in different languages?

Hey, @Ignas

Are you referring to images that you have on your homepage? You want to be able to upload language specific images based on the language your customer is using?

This would require multiple domains and Shopify accounts to essentially create duplicates of your homepage. And the customer is redirected to the proper language-based domain (Shopify account) based on the customer’s language choice.

This means you have multiple domains or subdomains for each country or region you targeted. For example, you set up your store at yourshopname.com and create a store on a different domain for different regions like yourshopname.au or yourshopname.ca.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

I have created a subdomain for translation, but there is no possibility to have on one webpage 2languages with that language photos?
