So my default language on the store is English, and we got 2 extra european languages assigned to the eu market. To translate this, we do this automatically via Translate & adapt. All the content I added in the theme edit by blocks and sections just properly translate, but custom liquids and content from sections coded by html dont translate. Is there a way to also translate these kinds of content?

HI @Issyeissue

To translate custom Liquid or HTML content in your Shopify store, you can utilize the Shopify Translate & Adapt app. Here’s how:

  1. Manual Translation: Use the app within your Shopify admin to manually translate content. Simply select the language and resource you want to translate, then input the translated content into the designated field.

  2. Handling HTML and Liquid: When working with text that includes HTML or Liquid, translate only the text outside the tags or variables. Avoid modifying the HTML tags or Liquid variables, as these elements are crucial for functionality and are not visible to customers.

  3. CSV Export/Import: For managing larger amounts of content, you can export and import translations using CSV files, offering a streamlined approach.

These steps will help ensure accurate and effective translation of your custom content.

Best,
