Understanding Liquid Localization

Liquid localization is a powerful feature in Shopify that allows theme developers to create multilingual themes. This is essential for reaching a global audience and enhancing user experience by providing content in the shopper’s native language.

At the heart of Shopify's localization functionality is the t filter. This filter is used in Liquid templates to translate text based on the theme's language settings. Let's explore how to implement this in your Shopify theme.

Using the t Filter

The t filter is used to translate strings in your theme. It pulls translations from the locales directory, which contains translation files for each language.
