How the sixty languages work

Badge wording follows the storefront language automatically, including translated product URLs.

Every badge type ships translated into sixty languages. A shopper viewing your store in Latvian sees the Latvian wording, and there is nothing to configure — the badge follows the storefront language on its own.

Reviewed and additional

Thirty languages are reviewed translations, including all EU official languages plus Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian, which most badge apps skip entirely. The other thirty are provided as a solid starting point; if a phrase is not quite right for your market, override it and your wording is used instead.

Overriding a single language

In the badge editor, scroll to Text in 60 languages. Leave a field empty and Badgely uses its own translation. Fill it in and yours wins, for that language only.

Translated product URLs

With Shopify Markets a product handle can itself be translated: /products/coffee in English and /products/kava in Lithuanian. Badgely reads those translations and matches all of them, so badges keep working on every market rather than only the primary one.

This needs the read_translations permission, which the app requests on install. If your store is single-language, no translation requests are made at all.
