Theme translation

1. Single language

To translate your theme to another language, please follow these steps:

Step 1: Change your current Published languages

Go to Settings -> Languages -> Change default to change your current Published languages

Step 2: Update default theme content

Go to Online Store -> Themes -> Edit default theme content

Step 3: Translate the theme

You can translate manually for each content. For example, I will translate the button Subscribe to French

2. Multi-language

Purity ships with translations for 32 languages. Both the storefront (what your customers see) and the theme editor (the setting labels you see while customizing) are translated, so you can build your store in your own language.

When you add and publish one of these languages in Settings -> Languages, the theme's built-in text (buttons, labels, cart, search, and similar) appears in that language automatically. Any text you type yourself, such as headings and descriptions in sections, is translated separately (see Theme translation).
