# Multiple languages
Selling in multiple languages can increase sales by reaching customers all over the world. You can add multiple languages in your Shopify admin and use a translation app to translate your store content.
Once you set up multiple languages, customers can choose their preferred language with Eclipse's language selector.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you have multiple languages enabled, **some sections and features require extra steps** to enter translated words into the theme editor, including the Header's Mega menu, product variant swatches, and variant chips.
{% endhint %}
## Add multiple languages to your store
***
Before adding new languages, make sure your store meets the [requirements for selling in multiple languages](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/markets/languages#requirements).
STEPS
In your **Shopify Admin**:
1. Go to **Settings** and click **Languages**.
2. Click **Add Language**. Select a language from the menu, then click **Next**.
3. Select an [existing market](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/markets/managing-markets#add-a-market) to add your language to, then click **Done**.
> See Shopify's guide to [managing markets](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/markets/managing-markets#add-a-market) to add and configure the countries and regions you sell to.
4. Under **Unpublished languages**, click **Edit** to add your translations before publishing them.
## Add translation app to translate store content
***
**Translation apps** let you add and edit all store content, such as custom content added to your products, pages, and sections.
Eclipse is compatible with Shopify's free [Translate & Adapt](https://apps.shopify.com/translate-and-adapt) app. The app fully integrates with and can be accessed through the theme editor.
{% hint style="info" %} **Note** Other third-party translation apps are available on [Shopify's app store](https://apps.shopify.com/). Our theme support does not cover app integration. We recommend duplicating your theme before adding any apps and testing them thoroughly before purchasing. Please contact app developers for assistance.
{% endhint %}
### Install and use Translate & Adapt
Download the [Translate & Adapt](https://apps.shopify.com/translate-and-adapt) app and follow the steps provided in the app and [Shopify's app manual](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/markets/languages/translate-adapt-app).
All translations are organized by category, such as **Products**, **Pages**, and **Blog posts**. You can also edit translations included in all theme assets and theme sections.
When finished your translations, remember to go to **Settings > Languages** to publish your languages.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Tags on Shopify (such as product tags, article tags, and blog tags) cannot be translated.
{% endhint %}
## Theme translations
***
Eclipse includes 4 pre-packaged **theme translations** for French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
Theme translations are for text elements included in and controlled by the theme. All other content needs to be manually entered or auto-translated with a translation app.
In the **Translate & Adapt** app, you can add and edit translations for **Theme assets** and **Theme sections**.
### Enable language selector
Customer's can select their preferred language by using Eclipse's **language selector**.
The selector will appear when languages are added and published.
To enable the language selector, click on the **Header** or **Footer** sections in the theme editor. Click to check **Enable language selector**.
## Fixing translations errors
***
In some theme strings, code with curly brackets (**`{{ code }}`**) are included to dynamically show the correct content on your site.
If you're using an app that auto-translates your store content, errors can occur when code is translated. For example, the code **`{{count}}`** shows the number of search results. If "count" is translated to another language, the code will not work.
* In **Translate & Adapt**, open **theme assets** and use the search bar to find strings with a curly bracket **`{`**.
* Re-add the code in the 'English' column to the translated language column.
