Portal languages
The six languages the portal supports and how it decides which one a shopper sees.
The portal is available in six languages:
- English
- Swedish
- Norwegian
- Danish
- Finnish
- Arabic, with a full right-to-left layout
How the language is chosen
The portal follows the shopper's browser language. If that isn't one of the six, it uses your store's main language, and if that isn't one either, English.
You can also force a language by adding ?locale= to the link, for example yourstore.com/apps/returns?locale=sv. That's handy in emails you already send in a set language. The codes are en, sv, nb, da, fi and ar.
There's nothing to switch on. Every store gets all six.
What is translated
Everything Yoyo writes is translated: buttons, instructions, return reasons, error messages and the confirmation screen.
Text that comes from you is shown as you wrote it. That includes product names, your policy notes and any heading you've typed under Portal → Customise. If most of your customers read one language, write your custom text in that language.
Good to know
- Prices are shown in the currency of the original order.
- The Yoyo admin is also available in Finnish and Norwegian as well as English. It follows your Shopify admin language.
