Translate Shopify Store to Korean and Japanese Without Plugins

You can translate your Shopify store into Korean and Japanese by adding Proxylang’s script tag to your theme, no plugins or code changes needed.

How to add Korean and Japanese using Proxylang

Log in to your Proxylang dashboard and select your website. Choose Korean and Japanese as target languages from the 77 available. Copy the provided script tag and paste it into your Shopify theme’s header.liquid file, just before the closing </head> tag. Save the changes and publish, your site will now serve translated content in real time to visitors.

What happens after setup

When a visitor selects Korean or Japanese, Proxylang translates visible text in their browser while preserving your layout and functionality. For search engines, you can enable hybrid or full proxy mode (available in Start and Pro plans) to serve indexed translated pages with hreflang tags. No duplicate pages are created, and your original Shopify URLs remain unchanged.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install a Shopify app to use Proxylang?

No. Proxylang works with a single script tag added to your theme, no app installation from the Shopify App Store is required.

Will my Shopify checkout be translated?

No. Shopify checkout runs on Shopify’s secure servers where external scripts like Proxylang do not load, so checkout remains in your store’s original language.

Can I translate into both Korean and Japanese on the free plan?

No. The free plan supports only one language. To translate into both Korean and Japanese, you need at least the Lite plan, which includes five languages.
