How to translate the progress bar texts for each language and market

Translate a text from its own field

Every translatable text has a translate icon: at the end of the field for a simple field, or at the end of the toolbar (right after the </> button) for a rich-text editor. Clicking it opens a menu with two choices:

• Translate across markets: pick a language. The translation is used in that language in every market.
• Adapt a market: pick a market, then one of its languages. The text is used only for that language in that market, for example French for Canada.

Type the translation in the window that opens. Once a text has translations, a counter such as 2 translations appears at the end of the field label. Click it to see every translation, edit it or delete it with Remove this translation.

The menu lists the languages added to your store in Shopify. A language missing from the list must first be added in Shopify's language settings.

Which texts are translated this way

In the tier card on Goals & Discounts:

• the tier name (Goal name);
• the tier text shown while the tier is ahead (Goal's text template);
• the discount title;
• the Login button label;
• the texts of the gift button and of the gift chooser for that tier (see gift chooser).

Elsewhere:

• the quantity labels of a bar, in its Quantity labels or Order count labels card (singular, plural, remaining quantity), see bars;
• the Button label of the gift button at checkout, on the Checkout page (see checkout);
• the title and add-to-cart label of a recommendation block, in its Content tab (see recommendations).

A field left empty in a language falls back to the main text.

Texts translated with Translate & Adapt

A few texts are translated in Shopify's Translate & Adapt app rather than in Yaco Progress Bar:

• the success message: the Success message tab of the Design page links to it (see success message);
• the default texts of the gift chooser and the “Choose a gift” button, set in Online Store › Customize › App embeds › Yaco Progress Bar.

Texts you do not need to translate

• In checkout, the “FREE”, “Add” and “Remove” wordings and the messages shown in the gift list follow the shopper's checkout language automatically. They cannot be edited.
• In a recommendation block, a title or button label you never changed is shown in the shopper's language from built-in translations. Once you write your own title, it is shown as written in every language, until you translate it.

Language versus market

Use Translate across markets in most cases. Use Adapt a market when one market needs different wording in the same language, for example British and American English. To change a tier's threshold per market, see markets.

Translations are saved with the page: click Save, or Publish on the Checkout page.
