## How to setup an app to translate multiple languages?

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend you to use below apps which Shopify recommends:

* 01: [Shopify Translate & Adapt](https://shopify.pxf.io/a1MZ3N) - This is a free official Language app of Shopify platform
* 02: [T Lab ‑ AI Language Translate](https://apps.shopify.com/content-translation) - below instruction is for how to use an app to translate for your websit
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The app was tested carefully on the theme and all texts can be translated well. If you see the error "Missing translation", it means that you haven't translated all texts yet and this is not a theme issue. Please double check the text fields in the app and translate them.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Limitations of selling in multiple languages:

* [Only compatible third-party translation apps are supported by this feature.](https://apps.shopify.com/collections/apps-for-store-languages)
* Tags (such as product tags, article tags, and blog tags) can't be translated.
* Product URLs, such as /products/large-white-t-shirt, aren't translated and remain in the language that they were created in, even when a customer is viewing the site in another published language.
