Right to left and languages
Verso reads the language of each page. In Hebrew, Arabic, Persian and Urdu the whole page turns right to left: spreads swap sides, the index rail moves to the right, arrows and carousels point the other way, and the reading order of every menu follows.
Fonts for Hebrew and Arabic
Most fonts in Shopify's library cover Latin letters only. Theme settings > Typography has two extra choices under Right to left languages: Right-to-left headings and Right-to-left body, each serif or sans. Hebrew and Arabic text uses a high quality system font in that style, while Latin text in the same page keeps your library fonts.
Translating your store
- Settings > Languages: add and publish the languages you sell in.
- Translate products, collections and pages with Shopify's Translate and Adapt app or another translation app.
- Verso's own storefront text (buttons, cart, filters, accessibility menu) is already translated into English, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal).
- Section text you type in the editor (headings, buttons) is translated in the same app, under Online Store > Theme.
Tips
- Check every page in a right to left language before you publish.
- Predictive search suggestions are not offered by Shopify in some languages, Hebrew among them. Full search on Enter works in every language.
