How Shopify knows what languages does my app support?

Retired Boards Appdev Extensions

Topic summary

Unclear how Shopify determines and displays supported languages for an app’s App Store listing.

  • The poster cannot find any field in the app submission form to declare which languages the app supports.
  • Their app dynamically adapts the admin UI using the “locale” parameter Shopify sends (indicating the merchant’s language), suggesting runtime multilingual support.
  • Key question: If there’s no explicit declaration in the submission process, how will Shopify identify and show supported languages on the listing?
  • No responses or official guidance are provided in the thread.
  • Status: Unresolved; awaiting clarification on how language support is detected or configured for listings.

I was checking the Submision form for an app and did not find a way to specify what languages are supported.

I am using locale param that Shopify sends for an app to change admin ui look to match the locale.

But how would Shopify know it for listing?
