Q: How Does ConveyThis Handle Dynamic Language Detection on Shopify?
Hello,
I’m very interested in your software, but I’d like to understand exactly how it works with Shopify. As you know, Shopify typically directs visitors to separate URLs for each language—for example, www.mystoreshopify.com/en, /es, or /it.
Does ConveyThis dynamically detect a visitor’s language and serve the appropriate content on my Shopify store, or does it rely on those separate language-specific URLs? I wasn’t entirely clear on this from the YouTube videos, so I’d appreciate a detailed explanation of how your solution handles multilingual content on Shopify.

Edited Jun 24, 2025A: By default, our widget adds a parameter to the URL, like shopify.com?locale=es.
You can also choose other formats: no URL changes, subdirectories (shopify.com/es), or subdomains (es.shopify.com).
Yes, we can also detect the user's browser language. If your settings include that language and this option is enabled, the website will be shown already translated.
In any case, users can always manually change the language using the switcher.
