To use this feature, you first need to install a **translation application** from the Shopify App Store. The information entered into the translation app will be synchronized with our translation feature. Below is a detailed guide on how to utilize the Localization feature effectively. | 💭 Recommended Translation Apps: Using [Transcy](https://apps.shopify.com/transcy-multiple-languages) for the best experience. ### Table of Contents 1. [Facebook Feed Localization](#1-facebook-feed-localization) * [Translating Information](#3-1-translate-information) * [Converting Currency](#3-2-convert-currency) * [Checking Language and Currency Feed](#3-3-check-language-and-currency-feed) 2. [Google Feed Localization](#1-google-feed-localization) * [Enabling the Localization Feature](#3-1-enable-the-localization-function) * [Setting Up Supplemental Sources](#3-2-setup-supplemental-source-in-google-merchant-center) --- # Facebook Feed Localization ### 1. Translate Information In **Facebook Feed**, navigate to the **Localization** tab and enable the feature. Once activated, you can choose translated information from two different sources: * **Shopify Markets** ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/b/9/2/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_1vtb1f5.png) * **Third-party Apps** ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/b/9/2/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_1touiv8.png) Choose your preferred language(s) and click **Generate XML File**. The dropdown list will display only the languages that have been set up in your translation app. || Currently, our application supports translation for **product titles** and **descriptions** only. ### 2. Convert Currency This feature helps you sync your preferred **Country** and **Currency** with the Facebook Catalog. Enable this feature to proceed. Like language translation, users can choose between two currency sources: * **Shopify Markets** ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/b/9/2/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_1qkq094.png) * **FeedHub Apps** ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/b/9/2/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_1anmnja.png) Select the country and currency from the dropdown and click **Convert**. Currency conversion is done automatically based on the exchange rate. Facebook only accepts two decimal places, so values will be rounded accordingly. ||| Currency is being converted automatically according to the exchange rate, Example 1 VND = 0.000037187897 EUR. Currently, Facebook accepts only 2 numbers after the decimal point. Therefore, let refer to this example to know how we will sync them to Facebook. 74.56123 rounded to 74.57, 74.56984 also rounded to 74.57 ### 3. Check Language and Currency Feed To verify your feed settings, follow these steps: * Go to **Facebook Catalog** > **Items** * Click on any product and select **Country** or **Currency** to review the feed settings. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/cb92164b6e8ef000/the1_tusxd5.png) * You can also click into the items> choose **International Coverage**> choose **Country** > you can see all the country and currency that the items is covering. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ab8a6f89b0a19000/nn4_mk3vxl.jpg) * At Data Sources on your Facebook Catalog, you can see the country (include currency) and language feeds that you have synced. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ab8a6f89b0a19000/nn6_1txwu27.jpg) If you no longer wish to use the translation feature, disable it, and product titles and descriptions will revert to the default language in Shopify. --- # Google Feed Localization ### 1. Enable the Localization Function The **Localization** feature is available in Google Feed, but it only supports language translation (no currency conversion). To enable it: * Go to the **Localization** tab and enable the feature. * Choose translated information from either **Shopify Markets** or **Third-party Apps**. * **Shopify Markets** ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/b/9/2/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_1dv2pf6.png) * **Third-party apps** ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/b/9/2/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_1mvzs2a.png) * Select your preferred language and click **Generate XML File**. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/b/9/2/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_w6v9zi.png) || Once the feed has been generated, you will have the **Feed URL** that contains the product title and description that has been translated. This **URL** is provided to create a supplemental feed. ### 2. Setup Supplemental Source in Google Merchant Center Since Google Merchant Center does not have an API for automatic synchronization, the translated feed must be manually added as a **Supplemental Feed**. Follow these steps: * Go to **Google Merchant Center ** > **Setting** > **Data Sources** ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_g0u2qs.png) * Supplemental Sources > click **Add supplemental product data** ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_kfjvzs.png) * Choose **Add product data from a file** > Paste the XML file that you just copied at the Localization section > Click **Continue** ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_di9mde.png) * Select **Feed label**, select **Language** and select **Primary Data Sources** to connect to your language feed > Click on **Create Data Source** ||| Feed label is the one displayed at the primary data sources as your feed target market ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_shnh07.png) ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_10cb5ml.png) * Once you finish the setup, your language feed will be created and displayed in GMC ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_k78jbd.png) In case you no longer need to use the translate feature for this feed, kindly go to **Google Merchant Center** > **Setting** > **Product Sources** > Supplemental Sources to delete that additional feed. #### ${color}[#004cff](Activating Supplemental Sources (if unavailable) If the **Supplemental Sources** option is missing in your Google Merchant Center, follow these steps: * Go to the Settings > Tool icon > select **Add-ons** ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_1or94yz.png) * Click the Discover Tab > Find the **Advanced Data Source Management** > click the **"ADD"** button to enable. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/cb92164b6e8ef000/image_1rs2jc0.png) #### ${color}[#004cff](Important Considerations) * If you update the language for specific products, data will update based on the schedule in **Source Management** and **Feed**. You may need to manually update it in **Localization**. * If your chosen language does not match your website language, Google may issue a warning, potentially leading to product rejection. Consider using English if necessary, but this may impact ad performance. --- The **Localization** feature is a powerful tool for expanding your e-commerce reach to international markets.
