Seeking Solution for Multilingual Back-in-Stock Notifications

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Multilingual back-in-stock notifications fail to localize product titles: a French-default Shopify store needs titles to appear in the customer’s language (e.g., English) even when the rest of the message translates correctly. Prior attempts with multiple apps and Klaviyo flows still show titles in French.

Proposed options:

  • Multi-language back‑in‑stock apps: Try apps like Back In Stock, Restock Alerts, or Channelwill Back in Stock that claim product title localization; some may integrate with Klaviyo or require separate email setups.
  • Klaviyo workaround: Segment audiences by language and build separate notification templates with localized product titles per language. This is manual and scales poorly across many products. (Klaviyo = email/SMS marketing platform.)
  • Custom development: Create a solution that pulls the product title in the customer’s preferred language and passes it to Klaviyo or another notification system.

Recommendations: Evaluate app feature lists specifically for product title localization and integration depth; balance the manual overhead of Klaviyo segmentation versus the control and cost of custom dev.

Status: No confirmed fix yet; discussion remains open.

Hi Shopify Community,

I’m facing a challenge with handling multilingual back-in-stock notifications for our Shopify store. Our store’s default language is French, but we have many international customers who need notifications in English. The main issue is that product titles in notifications are always in French, even when the rest of the notification is in English.

We’ve tried several apps and solutions, including Klaviyo flows, but the product titles remain in French regardless of the customer’s preferred language. We need a solution that can dynamically change the product title language based on the customer’s preference and integrates well with Klaviyo or any other robust notification system.

Despite testing various Shopify apps designed for back-in-stock notifications, none efficiently handle the multilingual aspect, especially the product title. Ideally, the solution should be straightforward to implement without requiring extensive custom development.

Has anyone faced a similar issue and found a reliable solution or workaround? Are there any apps or methods that support dynamic product titles in multiple languages for back-in-stock notifications?

Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @ZakariaBlueB ,
This is Theodore from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App.

Many Shopify stores struggle with multilingual back-in-stock notifications. Here’s how to fix it:

The Problem: Product titles show in French despite English notification emails.

Desired Solution: Dynamic product title language based on customer preference (integrates with Klaviyo or similar).

Possible Solutions:

  1. Multi-language Back-in-Stock Apps:

    • Look for Shopify apps like Back In Stock, Restock Alerts, or Channelwill Back in Stock that offer multi-language support for product titles. These might integrate with Klaviyo or require separate email setups.

  2. Klaviyo Workaround (Limited):

    • Segment your Klaviyo audience by language and create separate notification templates with product titles in the corresponding languages. This requires manual setup for each product.

  3. Custom Development (For Developers):

    • Develop a custom solution to integrate with Shopify and Klaviyo, pulling product titles in the preferred language.

Choosing the Right Option:

  • Research app features and limitations, especially for multi-language support.
  • Consider the complexity of the Klaviyo workaround.
  • If resources allow, custom development offers the most control.
