Available on the Free plan
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.
How it works
Once you enable multi-language widgets, we display all widget texts (such as titles, buttons, review forms, and on-site labels) based on the current store language selected by your customers. For example:
When a customer switches your store to French, Judge.me widget texts will appear in French.
When they switch back to another language, the widget texts update accordingly.
Considerations
While we supports Norwegian (Bokmål) for widget language, it is only available under the Norwegian (NO) locale in Shopify — not the Norwegian (Bokmål) (NB) locale. This means:
If a customer selects Norwegian (NO) as their storefront language:
Judge.me widgets will be translated into Norwegian (Bokmål).If a customer selects Norwegian (Bokmål) (NB) as their storefront language:
Judge.me widgets will not be translated. They will appear in the default widget and email language instead.
If you’re using Shopify’s Translate & Adapt app, make sure to exclude Judge.me metafields from being translated.
