## I. Which content can you edit in the switcher?

**Transcy** lets you customize and translate two main types of switcher content:

### 1. Main switcher content elements

These are the primary interface components your customers interact with directly:
• **Language**: Customize the "**Language**" button text so shoppers clearly understand how to switch between available languages.
• **Currency**: Adjust the "**Currency**" label or options to reflect local terms.
• **Search**: Translate "**Search**" button labels.
• **Apply**: Ensure the "**Apply**" button text feels natural and encourages customers to proceed.
• **Location**: Edit the "**Location**" label for clarity in different regions.
• **Change country**: Translate and localize how customers see and use the country selection option.
• **No result**: Customize the message shown when no search results are found, ensuring it's clear and user-friendly.

### 2. Pop-up recommendation switcher content

These are optional messages shown to international visitors:
• **Choose the location you want to shop in**: The main instruction shown to customers when they're prompted to select their preferred market.
• **Country**: The field label for choosing a country.
• **Language**: The field label for choosing a language.
• **Currency**: The field label for choosing a currency.
• **Search**: Text related to searching within the popup.

### Step 3: Translate your switcher content

You have two options:

#### Option 1: Use AI engines to translate

→ Click on "**Translate with AI**" 
→ It's will show all **AI engine** from the dropdown (**OpenAI**, **DeepL**, **DeepSeek**, **Grok**, **Gemini**, **Baidu**, **Yandex**, or **Google**)
→ Hit "**Translate now**"
→ When the translation's done, review the output to ensure tone and meaning fit your market
→ Hit "**Save**" and your changes will be synced to your storefront

![Confirm translation interface](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/3/5/1/b/351b76ece3eb1400/2025-08-19102645_107l3n7.png)

#### Option 2: Direct input

If you'd rather not use AI, you can **input the translations by yourself**.
→ In the translation box, input and fill the translations base on your needs
→ Review them once you're done
→ Hit "**Save**"
→ Your updates will sync right to your storefront

![Direct input translations](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/3/5/1/b/351b76ece3eb1400/2025-08-19103659_1kl19ux.png)

This is a great option if you want full control over word choice, brand voice, or cultural details.

### Step 4: Review in your storefront

After updating the new translation, don't forget to preview your store to make sure translations display correctly in the switcher.

## III. Best practices for customization

• **Keep it concise**: Switcher elements should use brief, clear language that doesn't overwhelm customers during their initial site interaction.
• **Maintain brand voice**: Ensure your customized switcher content reflects your brand personality while remaining functional and clear.
• **Test across devices**: Verify that your customized text displays properly on both desktop and mobile devices, considering space constraints.
• **Consider cultural context**: Some markets prefer formal language, while others respond better to casual, friendly tones.
• **Regular reviews**: Periodically review your switcher translations to ensure they remain current and effective across all markets.
• **Coordinated updates**: When you update default content, remember to update corresponding translations to maintain consistency.
• **Quality assurance**: Test your switcher functionality across different languages to ensure all elements work seamlessly together.
