Same issue here. Swedish shop but buy it now button is in English. Could you please assist.
Topic summary
Merchants are seeking to translate Shopify’s dynamic checkout buttons (“Buy it now” and “More payment options”) into languages beyond the currently supported set.
Currently Supported Languages:
Portuguese (Brazil & Portugal), Spanish, Italian, French, English, Dutch, German, Danish, and Japanese.
Outstanding Translation Requests:
Numerous merchants have requested translations for: Norwegian, Finnish, Turkish, Russian, Romanian, Hungarian, Icelandic, Catalan, Arabic, Hebrew, Serbian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Slovak, and Slovene.
Shopify’s Response:
Support representatives (Jason, Julie) acknowledge the requests and forward them to the development team. However, they provide no timeline for implementation, noting that dynamic button text comes from Shopify’s core system and cannot be customized per-store. The feature is reportedly “in the planning stage.”
Merchant Frustration:
Some users express dissatisfaction with the delay, noting they’ve paid subscription fees while waiting for this basic localization feature. One merchant mentions waiting two months without publishing their site due to the language mismatch.
Workaround Attempt:
One user suggests editing the “Check out” translation in the theme’s default content under Cart section, though this solution’s effectiveness for dynamic buttons remains unclear.
Status: The issue remains unresolved with no estimated release date for additional language support.
