How to Add Translations to Your Size Charts

Expand your store's reach globally by providing size charts in multiple languages. Clean Size Charts' translation feature makes it easy to create localized sizing information for customers around the world.

Getting Started with Translations

Adding translations to your size charts is straightforward. Follow these steps to create your first translation:

Step 1: Navigate to Language Settings

1. From your Clean Size Charts dashboard, locate Language in the left navigation menu (under Settings)
2. Click on Language to access the translation management page
3. You'll see your store's default language displayed (typically English)

Step 2: Add a New Language

1. Click the Add language button in the top-right corner
2. A modal window will appear with a search field
3. Type the language you want to add (e.g., "French", "Spanish", "German")
4. Select your desired language from over 100+ available languages
5. Click Add to confirm your selection

Tip: Clean Size Charts offers over 100+ languages to choose from, independent of your Shopify store settings. This gives you maximum flexibility to serve customers worldwide.

Step 3: Translate Your Content

Once you've added a language, you'll see two columns:

• Default Language - Shows your original content
• [Your Selected Language] - Where you'll enter translations

Translation Tip: We recommend using ChatGPT or Google Translate to quickly generate your translations. Simply copy your default language text, paste it into your preferred translation tool, and then copy the translated text back into Clean Size Charts.

Translate the following elements:

Essential Fields to Translate:

• Link Text - The text that appears on your product page (e.g., "Size Chart" → "Tableau des tailles")
• Find My Size Text - Call-to-action text for the size finder
• Step label - Navigation text (e.g., "Step" → "Étape")
• Back button - Navigation button text (e.g., "Back" → "Dos")

• Continue button - Navigation button text (e.g., "Continue" → "Continuer")

  
  

Size Recommender Fields (if using AI Size Recommendations):

• Details label - Instructions for customer input (e.g., "Enter details below" → "Entrez les détails ci-dessous")
• Height label - Measurement label (e.g., "Height" → "Hauteur")
• Height help text - Instructions for height input (e.g., "Enter your height" → "Entrez votre taille")
• Height Imperial/Metric - Unit labels (e.g., "Imperial" → "Impérial", "Metric" → "Métrique")

• Weight label - Measurement label (e.g., "Weight" → "Poids")

  
  

Step 4: Save and Publish

1. Toggle the language status to Published when ready
2. After entering all translations, click Save in the top bar
3. You'll see a green "Fully Translated" badge when all fields are complete

Applying Translations to Individual Size Charts

While the Language settings page manages your global translations, you can also select which language to use when editing individual size charts:

1. Navigate to any size chart from your dashboard
2. In the Content tab, you'll see a Language dropdown field

3. Select "Choose Language" to pick from your available translated languages
4. This allows you to preview how your size chart appears in different languages

Managing Multiple Languages

Adding Additional Languages

You can add as many languages as you need from our selection of 100+ languages. Simply repeat the "Add a New Language" process for each additional language you want to support.

Editing Translations

1. Navigate to the Languages section of your size chart
2. Select the language you want to edit from the dropdown or tabs
3. Make your changes
4. Click Save to update

How Translations Work on Your Storefront

When a customer visits your store:

1. Automatic Detection: The size chart automatically displays in the customer's selected language based on their browser settings or manual selection
2. Language Switcher Integration: If you have a language switcher app on your storefront (like Weglot, Langify, or Translation Lab), the size chart content will update accordingly
3. Fallback: If a translation isn't available, the chart displays in your default language

Best Practices

Translation Tips

• Be Consistent: Use the same terminology across all your size charts for a uniform experience
• Consider Local Preferences: Some regions prefer different measurement units (cm vs inches)
• Test Your Translations: Preview your size charts in different languages to ensure proper display
• Professional Translation: For best results, consider using professional translation services for accuracy

Common Use Cases

International Expansion Perfect for stores expanding into new markets. Create region-specific sizing with appropriate language and units.

Multi-Regional Stores Ideal for stores serving multiple countries from a single Shopify instance. Provide localized experiences without creating separate stores.

Tourist-Friendly Shops Great for stores in tourist destinations. Offer size charts in commonly spoken languages to reduce confusion and returns.

If your translated language isn't showing:

• Ensure the language is set to "Published" status

• Clear your browser cache and refresh

Partial Translations

If you see the "Partially Translated" status:

• Review all fields to find empty translation fields
• Complete any missing translations
