FAQ: Why I can not find the language I want to translate in the target language list?

When adding target languages to assign to market in Markets the app will show you a list like this:

That list includes languages supported on Shopify. If you can't find the language you want or it says "Unsupported," that's because Shopify does not support that language at the moment.

Solution: Choose an Alternative Language

You can choose a second language which is mainly used in that country to translate.

For example: The Philippines uses two main languages - Filipino and English. Although Filipino has not been supported by Shopify, you can choose English as an alternative option for your translating.

This approach works well because:

→ Your customers can still understand and navigate your store

→ You reach your target market effectively

→ You work within Shopify's supported language framework
