Problem guide

Shopify product images not translating? Fix the part Shopify leaves behind.

Shopify can translate product text, but text embedded inside images, labels, size charts, and banners often stays in the original language. Freshify helps you replace those visuals per storefront language.

Shopify Product Images Not Translating

Problem

  • Product photos still contain English text after the storefront is translated.
