How is Langwill optimized for multilingual SEO?
In this article, you'll learn how Langwill manages your Shopify store's SEO to ensure that Google indexes your website's language versions.Langwill supports:A unique URL for different language page versionTranslate meta title and meta description on HomepageTranslate meta title and meta description on Product PageTranslate URL handle1. A unique URL for different language page versionA unique URL for different language page versions is accomplished through Shopify. For more detailed information, you can refer to the article.A major aspect of selling in multiple languages is making sure that customers and search engines can find the right language version of your site. When you publish a language, unique URLs are created for each translated page in your store. This is done by adding the language code to the URLs.For example, suppose your primary domain is example.com. If you publish two additional languages, French (fr) and German (de), then your store URLs will change to example.com/fr and example.com/de.You can also have different languages available on different domains by using the international domains feature in Shopify Markets.2. Translate meta title and meta description on HomepageThe title and meta description (Homepage title and Homepage meta description) are included on Preference from your Shopify setting and they will be automatically synced to our app to translate.Go to Language => Manage Translation=> Click on "Homepage seo" resource Press on "Translate all" to translate in bulk or manually edit the translation for homepage3. Translate meta title and meta description on Product PageSEO title and description are included on specific product page and you need to differently customize the title name as well as description in order to optimize them on search engines.Go to Language => Manage Translation=> Click on "Product" resourceSelect the needed products => Manually edit the translation for Meta title and Meta description.Please note that according to Shopify, if you have not manually edited the Meta title and Meta description, Shopify will display the text from your original default language in the corresponding translated language page.So you need to edit the default language content and save it before translating.4. Translate URL SlugEach URL slug with a separate page link can be translated.URL slugs, such as /products/shoes can be translated into /products/es/zapatos but the word products cannot be translated.URL slugs cannot be customized for markets. Translations can only be added for URL slugs on all markets where a language is visible.Go to Language => Manage Translation=> Click on "Product"/“Blog”/“Page” and so on.Currently, our AI translation will skip the URL slug and will not translate it by default. If you need to translate it, please do it manually or click the translation button on the right to translate individually.Regarding the post-translation redirection issue:Assuming your product's default language link is: https://www.example.com/products/shoesBefore translation, the URL for your Spanish translation language is: https://www.example.com/products/es/shoesAfter translation, the URL for your Spanish translation language may be https://www.example.com/products/es/zapatos, and the original https://www.example.com/products/es/shoes will automatically create a 301 redirect and is indexable by search engines. If you were to delete the translation, it will revert to how things were before the translation was added. It does not create an additional redirect from the deleted URL translation to the default URL.Refer to this article for more details.
How to translate default Language?
What is default language?Default Language is the language you set for your store on Shopify. Your visitors will see this language if their preferred language isn't available. Langwill will use this language as the first language to translate to other translation languages. If the default language selected for your store does not match the language filled out in your product information, and you wish to display the default language to customers.For example: If your store language is set to English, but your product information is written in German, and you want to present your store in English to users.In this case, you have two ways to translate the default language.1. Active basic translation for default language. Please note that When a translation language is set as the default, editing the translation results is temporarily not supported. 2. Change your default language. Change the default language of your shop to the correct language.We recommend the second method so that you can edit the translations to show a more accurate translation of the store1. Active basic translation for default language. Click on ‘Add language’, then select the default language and click on “Translate”.Please note that editing default language translations is not supported at this time. To disable translation, please delete that language.2. Change your default language.Just simply go to Shopify admin --> Settings --> Languages --> Published languages -> Click on the button Change default --> Select the actual language in which you fill in the product information.After switching to the language in which you filled in the product information, you can then switch back to our product, add the language you want to show to your users, and then edit the translation results.Please note that if you switch the default language, all text in your default language will be lost. If you want to keep the text in the original default language, you can do the following steps.For example, if you want to change the default language from English to German, you can:1. Backup translations (English) text: Ensure that you have a backup of all your existing translations. Exporting the CSV file with current translations2. Switch the default language to German3. Manually re-import translations: If the translations are not automatically carried over when changing the default language, you can try manually re-importing them using the exported CSV file. Choose the new default language (German) and use the "Upload file" option to import the CSV file containing the translations. Shopify should map the translations from the file to the appropriate fields.

How to translate Filters?
If the filters on your website have not been translated and the original text resources cannot be found, you can translate them in the following ways.Method One: Translate the Source Text ResourcesIf you are using product variants as filter, the translation of filter values is based on the translated content for your products and product variants. You only need to translate the variant values in the product resources without additional translation. Please note, according to the Shopify documentation, the product tag filter is only displayed to customers shopping in the store's default language. The product vendor filter values are always based on the store's default language.If you are using custom product metafield as filter options, the resources are in the Metafield.The metafield's text type is usually in JSON format. Currently, we do not support the translation of JSON formats. You can translate by downloading the metafield resources, translating them in Excel, and then uploading them. Please ensure that all product metafiles are translated; otherwise, the filter will display both the original and translated filter values.Method Two: Use Page Element for Translation For specific usage, see this article. If most of the filter options use metafields, this method is recommended. Because the filter may display quantities, which are dynamic, we recommend using the Class&ID method of the page element for translation. Please note that the page element is only available for Growth Plan and above.The implementation principle of this method is to replace the text on the front end. If there are new values added to the filter or the class in the code layer changes, you will need to update the page element translation.
