Hello @Faty ,

  • If you decide to change the language settings of your Shopify store from English to Arabic, your products’ content in Arabic will not disappear

  • The change in language settings primarily affects the user interface and default language elements of your store, such as buttons, menus, and system messages.

  • Your entered product content, including titles, descriptions, and any other information you’ve added, will remain intact regardless of the language setting.

  • However, it’s always a good idea to back up your store’s data before making any major changes, just to be safe.

  • To change the language settings in your Shopify store, follow these steps.

  • Log in to your Shopify admin panel.
  • Go to “Settings” and select “General.”
  • In the “Store languages” section, click on “Change languages.”
  • From the “Add languages” section, select Arabic and click on “Add.”
  • Once Arabic is added, click on the “Actions” dropdown next to Arabic and choose “Set as primary.”
  • Save your changes.

  • After changing the primary language to Arabic, you may need to translate some default text elements and customize your store’s theme to ensure consistency throughout the user experience.

  • Remember to review and update any existing content to ensure its accuracy and alignment with the new language settings.

  • You can use the Shopify language editor to translate various aspects of your store, such as product details, collection names, and theme texts.

  • If you encounter any difficulties during the process, Shopify’s support team can provide assistance and guide you through the necessary steps.

Let me know if you require any further guidance.
