Prestige theme - Putting the language selector on top for mobile view

Topic summary

Goal: Move the language selector (language switcher) to the top in the Shopify Prestige theme’s mobile view to avoid scrolling. Ideal placement: in the header next to the cart with short labels (EN/DE), or alternatively in the mobile sidebar.

Proposed solutions:

  • Helper confirmed header placement (next to cart) is possible; initially suggested near the hamburger menu.
  • Provided a CSS fix to make the selector sticky/fixed: target div#arena_multilingual_shop with position: fixed and custom inset values, to be added in theme.scss or theme.css (not theme.liquid).
  • Requested collaborator access for implementation support.

Outcome for original requester:

  • Adopted a sticky language selector on mobile; accepts that the selector is now duplicated on desktop. No further changes requested.

Follow-up activity:

  • Several other merchants reported the same need and asked for help, sharing screenshots and a store link. One user couldn’t locate theme.scss/theme.css and noted that adding the CSS in theme.liquid didn’t work.

Status:

  • Partially resolved (for the original store) with a sticky mobile selector; broader solution for others remains open. Screenshots were shared but are not essential to the fix.

Hi,

I am using the Prestige theme and on desktop view the language selector is already at the top of the page.

This is good, but for mobile view the language selector is still on the bottom of the page. It would be great if mobile user don’t need to scroll at all to change the language.

Here is the link to my store: www.berliner-bags.com

I appreciate your help.

Thank you in advance and have a great start into the week,

Ari

Hi,
Welcome to Shopify Community.
We are glad to help you.

I have checked your mobile Currency selector, where you want to add it at the top.

Besides the Hamberg Menu.

Hi @Zworthkey

if it will only shows EN instead of ENGLISH and DE instead of DEUTSCH, then i’d like to have the language selector on mobile view on the header beside the cart icon.

Otherwise if it looks too much on the header, i’d have it in the mobile side bar navigation.

Thanks for your help

We’ve decided it to stay like this for now. On mobile phone, the sticky language selector is a great solution and on the bottom is also very handy.

On the desktop the, this language selector function are now double. But this is smaller issue than the mobile version one.

THanks a lot!

So now what can i Do?

Nothing. That’s it for now. Thank you!
