Judge.me detects the language buyers use on your store and updates your widget text accordingly. You can personalize widget text in every published language, ensuring consistency and brand voice across all markets.m
How the translation works
When you publish additional languages in your Shopify store and enable multi-language store settings in Judge.me:
Widgets will automatically display in the shopper's language.
Your customized texts will appear for each language (if added). Judge.me default translations will apply for any non-customized languages.
Translation and customized text apply to widget titles, buttons, review forms, and other on-site texts. To translate review content, use our Weglot integration.
How to customize widgets in multiple languages
Step 1: Publish translated languages in Shopify
From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Languages.
Click Add a language and choose from the list.
Use a translation app (like Shopify Translate & Adapt or Weglot) to translate your store content.
Click the three-dot icon next to each language and select Publish.
Once published, Judge.me will detect the language and start applying translations to your widgets.
Optional: Ensure consistent translations with Translate & Adapt
If you're using Translate & Adapt to translate your store, we recommend deleting translated Judge.me metafields so our default translations display consistently.
In your Translate & Adapt admin, go to Products.
Look for Judge.me metafields (e.g.,
judgeme.badge).Delete the translated content.
Click Save.
Step 2: Enable multi-language store settings in Judge.me
In your Judge.me admin, go to General Settings > Account.
In the Language section, make sure your Widget and notification emails language matches your Default published language in Shopify to ensure consistent translations across your store.
Click Do you expect to receive reviews in multiple languages?
Check Show headers for all widgets in each of your store’s languages, and click Update app permissions.
Click Save.
Now you can see the list of languages into which your widgets will be automatically translated.
Note:
If a language doesn’t appear, refresh your settings or wait up to 24 hours after publishing it in Shopify.
Step 3: Customize widget texts in each language
Unlock all widget customizations—including full text customization in multiple languages—with a 15-day free trial of the Awesome Plan.
You can customize text in multiple languages directly within each widget’s settings. Any widget that supports text customization will include a language selector, allowing you to switch between your published store languages.
In your Judge.me admin, go to Widgets > Review Widget > Customize.
Click Customize text.
Use the language selector at the top to choose a language.
Edit and save the widget text for that language.
Repeat for other languages as needed.
Judge.me will prioritize your custom text. If no custom text is added, our default translations will be used instead.
Note: You can currently customize translated text for the Review Widget, Star Rating Badge, Reviews Carousel, and Questions and Answers widget.
Step 4: Check your multi-language widgets on storefront
Widgets will automatically display in the buyer's selected store language.
Customized text will appear first; otherwise, default translations will be used.
Language switching options may vary depending on your Shopify theme or geolocation app.
