Shopify released an update a few days ago and now all Shopify merchants can translate the URLs of their e-store Products, Collections, Pages and Blog posts. More specifically, the slug/handle part of the URL can now be changed in any language which means the part of the URL after the last “/” (slash) can be translated.
Examples of translate URL slugs
Here are some example URLs from a store where English is the default language and Spanis is an extra language.
- https://pulsev-dawn-test.myshopify.com/products/test
- https://pulsev-dawn-test.myshopify.com/es/products/prueba
- https://pulsev-dawn-test.myshopify.com/collections/summer-season
- https://pulsev-dawn-test.myshopify.com/es/collections/temporada-de-verano
- https://pulsev-dawn-test.myshopify.com/pages/test-page
- https://pulsev-dawn-test.myshopify.com/es/pages/pagina-de-prueba
- https://pulsev-dawn-test.myshopify.com/blogs/news/test-blog-post
- https://pulsev-dawn-test.myshopify.com/es/blogs/noticias/publicacion-de-blog-de-prueba
Its important to remember that you can translate only slug part of the URL and the words “Products”, “Collections”, “Pages”, “Blogs” will always stay the same even if default language is not English.
