In order to load the correct wording at checkout depending on the delivery option, we load different language locales.
Due to a Shopify limitation, Zapiet can no longer automatically add or change language locales to your theme. You will need to add the language locales to your theme manually.
Requirements
For the correct locales to load in the checkout:
The Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery widget should be enabled on your theme.
You need to use the cart widget, not the checkout widget.
Correct locales need to be added to your theme.
Prepopulate shipping address fields setting needs to be enabled in Settings > Store Pickup
Prepopulate delivery address fields setting needs to be enabled in Settings > Local delivery.
How does it work?
You need to add locales to the theme manually after you enable the widget on your theme. Learn more about enabling the widget in our Enabling the cart widget on your theme article.
By default, we load:
English (en) for shipping
English Australian (en-AU) for delivery
English Canadian (en-CA) for pickup
Exceptions are stores located in Australia and Canada. The locales we load at checkout for those stores are:
English (en) for shipping
English American (en-US) for delivery
English British (en-GB) for pickup
Add locales to your theme
Click Online Store, then Themes.
Click ... then Edit code, next to the theme you want to edit.
In Locales folder, click Add a new locale.
Under File name add en-CA and click Done.
If your store is located in Australia or Canada, name this file en-GB.
When the locale is created, delete the contents that were added automatically.
Click the button below to download the file, and copy/paste the contents into your en-CA locale.
Click Save.
In Locales folder, click Add a new locale.
Under File name add en-AU and click Done.
If your store is located in Australia or Canada, name this file en-US.
When the locale is created, delete the contents that were added automatically.
Click the button below to download the file, and copy/paste the contents into your en-AU locale.
Click Save.
You've now added the correct locales for pickup and delivery.

Other languages
If your store is in Spanish, French or German, please use our translated locales.
If your store is located in Mexico, Latin America, Canada or Switzerland, please contact us on chat or at [email protected] to set up language locales.
For Spanish, you can use:
Spanish (es) for shipping
Spanish Latin American (es-419) for delivery
Spanish Mexican (es-MX) for pickup
Click the selected template to download it, then follow the steps in Add locales to your theme section.
For French, you can use:
French (fr) for shipping
French Canadian (fr-CA) for delivery
French Swiss (fr-CH) for pickup
Click the selected template to download it, then follow the steps in Add locales to your theme section.
For German, you can use:
German (de) for shipping
German Swiss (de-AT) for delivery
German Austrian (de-CH) for pickup
The currency format for German Swiss (de-CH locale used for pickup) uses a dot for decimal separation (e.g., 72.50), whereas the currency format for Euros uses a comma (e.g., 72,50).
This is a Shopify limitation of the German locales. If you prefer to use a comma in the currency format and do not use all three checkout methods (pickup, delivery, and shipping), please contact us via chat for a workaround.
Click the selected template to download it, then follow the steps in Add locales to your theme section.
Troubleshooting
If the locales are not loading correctly, disable Prepopulate shipping address fields setting in Settings > Store Pickup and Settings > Local Delivery, and enable it again.
Test locales in the incognito mode to avoid caching issues.
Check if the checkout URL contains the correct locales (e.g. en-AU for delivery)
For any further questions regarding languages, please contact us on chat, and we'd be happy to help!
