Shopify - How to manually install Weglot

In this article, you’ll learn which actions to undertake when the Weglot Shopify application displays a warning message.

If this warning message is displayed, it means that the Weglot Shopify app cannot detect Weglot on your website. However, if the translation works correctly, you can ignore it.

If the translation does not work, first click "Try to install" to reinstall the app automatically.

Please also make sure that the Weglot App Embed is active in your theme.

You can do so from your Shopify admin panel > Sales Channels > Online Store > Themes.

Click "Customize" next to the active theme.

Select the App embeds menu from the top left of the screen and activate the Weglot app embed.

If this still does not work, you can add Weglot manually to your Shopify theme, following the steps below:

1.  Go to your Weglot dashboard > Settings > Setup menu, and copy the JS Code snippet

2.   Go to your Shopify admin area, in Online Store > Themes on the left side, then click on "..." dropdown and Edit Code

3.   Select the theme.liquid file and paste the JS snippet previously copied before the </head> tag. Then Save.

It's done!

Go to your website and see the language button at the bottom right. It might take a few minutes to appear. Then, go back to the Weglot Shopify application, and you shouldn't see a warning message anymore.
