Technical Context:
Shopify doesn’t natively support Arabic translations or RTL layout, requiring custom themes or third-party solutions.
The discussion remains open with multiple viable options presented but no final decision indicated.
Hi All,
I have made an English language Shopify store and need to have a RTL Arabic version to switch between them both.
The translation apps are totally inaccurate and have a lot of issues. Instead, I’m looking for a ready RTL Arabic themes. I saw the Plak Arabic Theme which sounds very promising, but the company seems not operational as no one is responding at all.
Please help me guys with your advice and/or suggestions.
Thanks,
Asim

Hello Asim, Have you found a solution to create an Arabic Store?
Hello Asim, how are you doing?
Arabic translations (System, Themes & Notifications) and RTL (Right-to-Left) layout are not supported by default by Shopify, so you need to create them by yourself
Fortunately there is a solution for you to use, check Mwwared
They offer a 100% Arabic & RTL Shopify Theme : Shopify Casablanca Arabic Theme
And a Shopify App for Email Notifications : Shopify Customers Notification App
Shopify is the best solution to go with. Feel free to reach out to me if you need assistance with your Arabic Store development and implementation.
Hi Mehdi, I tried to send you a message but couldn’t find where to. Can you please reach out to me? I want to upload my exommerce site onto Shopify so I will need an Arabic/English RTL. We are based in Kuwait. Edited by Community Moderator
Maybe this theme can be a great fit for you since it’s built specifically for the RTL mode.

Enfitah Shopify Theme is indeed a great option for creating a bilingual store that fully supports Arabic and RTL (Right-to-Left) languages. Its native support for RTL ensures that your Arabic version will display correctly and seamlessly switch between languages.
Since you’ve experienced issues with translation apps, opting for a ready-made RTL Arabic theme like Enfitah can save you time and effort. It eliminates the need for manual translations and ensures a consistent and professional appearance for your Arabic storefront.
When it comes to creating a multi-language Shopify store with both English and RTL Arabic versions, finding the right theme is crucial. You’re absolutely right—translation apps often fall short, leading to inaccuracies and unnecessary frustrations.
For your needs, I highly recommend the Scrowp theme. Scrowp is one of the best options for stores targeting SEO-heavy strategies and dropshipping models. It’s fully optimized for RTL languages like Arabic while maintaining excellent compatibility with English. This means your customers can seamlessly switch between the two languages without compromising the design or readability of the store.
