4. Vantage Theme: Setting up the Store Language
In this article, we will go through how to make changes to the default store translations and languages. For example, how to change Add to Cart to Add to Bag.
The Default Theme Language
The Vantage theme includes an English translation out of the box. Translated content contains the standardized text in your store, such as contact information, buttons, and cart and checkout information.
Creating Another Language
In Vantage 7.2+ we have introduced a new cross borders feature within the footer section which allows you to integrate a language selector option into your store's footer.
The cross borders language feature allows you to easily translate standardized text in your theme into the following languages.
- French
- Spanish
- German
- Portuguese
Select the language settings option.
This will redirect you to your store's language settings and control page. From this page you will be able to control how you choose to translate your store.
You can adjust the default language which is the initial language your store loads in.
Primarily for our purposes here we will be using the Translated languages.
