Translate Spanish to English in Shopify

Many Shopify merchants need to translate Spanish to English to connect with a wider audience. Doing so helps break language barriers, build customer trust, and create a smoother shopping experience. 

Accurate translations also improve SEO, making it easier for new customers to discover your store. With Shopify’s translation apps and GemPages layouts, you can manage bilingual content without touching code.
