Translate Shopify Stores to French and German Without Plugins
Yes, you can translate your Shopify product descriptions and checkout pages into French and German without installing apps or breaking your theme layout.
How Proxylang translates Shopify
Proxylang uses a proxy mode to deliver translations without changing your store code or installing plugins. Your site remains a single codebase, which prevents theme layout issues commonly caused by app conflicts. When a visitor selects French or German, the system fetches your original content, applies AI-powered translation, and serves the localized page instantly. This process maintains your site structure and design exactly as you intended.
Maintaining layout and performance
Because Proxylang operates as a proxy, it does not inject heavy scripts or duplicate your site files. This keeps your store fast and ensures that complex checkout elements display correctly in all languages. You retain full control over your brand voice by using our built-in tools to lock specific terms.
