language translation problems urls are translating also

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A developer is experiencing issues with Shopify’s Translate and Adapt feature when translating a client’s site to German.

Core Problem:

  • URLs are being translated along with the site content
  • This causes 404 errors when users click links on the homepage in the translated version
  • The site uses both native language/currency features from the theme and Shopify’s translation tools

Current Status:

  • The issue remains unresolved
  • One respondent (mit_1) has begun investigating, asking about the Liquid code for a “video background” section and whether the URL translation is coming from the translate app
  • The conversation appears incomplete, with the troubleshooting still in progress
