Adjusting Your Shopify Store to Arabic Using the RTL Master App
Are you looking to make your Shopify store more accessible to an Arabic-speaking audience? With the RTL Master app, you can easily adjust your store's layout, language, and other elements to be more suitable for Arabic speakers. In this article, we will guide you through the process of using the RTL Master app to make your Shopify store RTL (right-to-left) and translate it to Arabic.
Demo Store Overview
Before we begin, let's take a look at a demo store that needs adjustments for Arabic language support. In this example, we have an online shoe store where the texts are not RTL, the images are not aligned correctly, and there are various other issues that make the store poorly suited for an Arabic audience.
Issues with the Store
The first step in adjusting your Shopify store to Arabic is enabling RTL. By using the RTL Master app, you can easily toggle the RTL functionality in your chosen theme. For example, if you're using the "Done" theme, you can enable RTL in the theme editor. This will instantly transform your entire theme to be RTL, including menus, images, and other elements.
Next, we need to address the issue of translations. Even after enabling RTL, some theme terms may still appear in English. To fix this, the RTL Master app provides a translation tab where you can choose the Arabic language and the theme you're using (e.g., "Done"). By enabling the translation, all theme terms will change to Arabic.
To ensure the Arabic language is displayed by default on your Shopify store, you also need to change the store's default language from English to Arabic. The RTL Master app makes this easy with just a click of a button. Once the default language is changed, all the theme terms will be displayed in Arabic when you refresh the page.
The RTL Master app offers additional features, such as the ability to translate notifications. You can choose the desired language (Arabic) and copy the new titles and bodies provided by the app. Then, paste them into your Shopify notification settings to have all Shopify notifications displayed in Arabic and RTL.
Another feature is the option to choose Arabic fonts for your store. With the RTL Master app, you can select any Arabic font you prefer, save the settings, and then refresh the page to see the Arabic font applied throughout your store. This customization is not available by default in Shopify.
In addition to these features, the RTL Master app also provides advanced functionalities such as multilingual support for stores that have multiple languages (e.g., Arabic and English) and an additional CSS functionality to help you make other apps compatible with RTL.
By using the RTL Master app, you can easily adjust your Shopify store to Arabic in less than two minutes. The app is fully responsive, works with Shopify's new themes, and does not affect the store's speed. Supported by over 600 Shopify stores, RTL Master is a reliable and efficient solution for making your store perfect for the Arabic audience.
