Yotpo Reviews supports two language-related capabilities: - **Widget interface language** - controls the language of static text displayed in on-site review widgets. - **Reviews translations** - controls how customer review content is translated for shoppers. - **Translate on Click** - shoppers translate individual reviews when needed. - **Automatically translate all reviews** - reviews are shown pre-translated based on the widget or storefront language. These settings are configured independently and affect different parts of the Reviews experience. ## Availability Translation is supported in the following locations: - **Reviews Widget**. - **SEO Page**. - **Reviews Tab**. - **Reviews media modal**. Yotpo supports approximately **35 languages**, covering key European, Asian, and Middle Eastern markets. #### Supported Languages - Arabic - Chinese (Simplified) (zh-CN) - Chinese (Traditional) (zh-TW) - Croatian - Czech - Danish - Dutch - Finnish - French - German - Greek - Hebrew - Hindi - Hungarian - Indonesian - Italian - Japanese - Korean - Lithuanian - Malay - Norwegian - Polish - Portuguese (Brazil) - Portuguese (Portugal) - Romanian - Russian - Slovak - Slovenian - Spanish - Swedish - Thai - Turkish - Vietnamese ## Widget Interface Language Widget language applies to Yotpo-generated UI elements displayed in on-site widgets, including: - Static labels and buttons. - AI Summary paragraph. - Summary by topic. - Smart filters. This does not translate customer review content. ### Set Your Widget Interface Language The widget language is based on your store or account language configuration. ****Shopify Stores**** For Shopify and Shopify Plus stores, widget interface language is managed automatically through [Shopify Markets](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/international). Widgets inherit the storefront language based on the shopper’s locale and [language configuration in Shopify](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/international/localization-and-translation). The widget language setting is enabled by default. > [!CAUTION] > **Important** > > - Widget interface language affects only widget UI elements. > - Review titles and content remain in the originally submitted language unless **Reviews translations** is enabled. > - If the shopper’s locale cannot be identified or is not supported, widgets default to English. ****Other eCommerce Platform**** For platforms other than Shopify, widget language is configured per domain. Each language or geographic variation requires: - A dedicated domain or subdomain. - A separate Yotpo App Key per domain. This means each domain supports a single widget language. To change the widget language: 1. In Yotpo Reviews, click your store name at the bottom left of the screen. 2. Click on **Account Settings > General Settings**. 3. Select the desired language from the **Language** dropdown. 4. Click **Save Changes**.![](https://cdn.document360.io/f3c2ab59-fe4c-4f93-9614-2872f40e8aa7/Images/Documentation/1.

When it's off, they use the language you set here. Only stores still on V2 widgets set the language in the plugin's settings. ## Translate Widgets Use **Translate Widgets** to control whether widgets display in the shopper’s selected language or remain in English. To turn **Translate Widgets** on or off: 1. Go to **On-site Widgets**. 2. Open **Widget settings**. 3. Turn the **Translate widgets** option on or off. 4. Click **Save**. This option is available on all plans. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f3c2ab59-fe4c-4f93-9614-2872f40e8aa7/Images/Documentation/2.

You can choose between two translation options: ### Translate on Click **How It Works** Translations are generated using AI-based translation technology. When Translate on Click is enabled: - Translation is triggered by shopper interaction. - Translations are applied per review. - Reviews are not translated automatically at page load. - Merchants cannot edit translated review content. ![Example of translation on demand in action](https://cdn.document360.io/f3c2ab59-fe4c-4f93-9614-2872f40e8aa7/Images/Documentation/translation-on-demand-example.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-10T00%3A13%3A54Z&se=2026-11-10T01%3A13%3A54Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FtG6X9rbSdC92zcK3CMJ11CVgle1Yj3terXBOOF%2FvKA%3D) **Shopper Experience** When enabled, shoppers can: - Select **Translate** on individual reviews. - View translated content inline within the widget. - Switch back to the original text using **See Original**. **Enable Reviews Translate on Click** To enable Reviews Translate on Click: 1. Go to **On-site Widgets.** 2. Open **Widget Settings.** 3. Enable **Review translation**. 4. Click on **Translate on Click.** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f3c2ab59-fe4c-4f93-9614-2872f40e8aa7/Images/Documentation/3.

When enabled, reviews appear translated when the widget language matches a supported target language. Shoppers can still view the original review text. This option is available on **Premium** and **Enterprise** plans only. #### How It Works When **Automatically translate all reviews** is enabled: - Reviews are pre-translated to match the widget language. - Translated reviews can appear automatically when the page loads. - Shoppers can switch back to the original review text. - If a matching translated version is not available, the original review appears instead. #### How It Works by Platform ****Shopify Markets**** - The widget dynamically loads in the language of the storefront the shopper is browsing. Storefront languages are set in Shopify Markets. - If the storefront language matches a supported translated language, pre-translated reviews can appear automatically in that language. - If no matching pre-translation is available, the original review appears and shoppers can translate it manually. ****Other Platforms**** - On platforms other than Shopify, translation is based on the widget language. - If the widget is set to a supported language, pre-translated reviews can appear automatically in that language. - If no matching pre-translation is available, the original review appears and shoppers can translate it manually. #### Enable Automatic Reviews Translations To enable review translation settings: 1. Go to **On-site Widgets**. 2. Open **Widget settings**. 3. Enable **Reviews translations**. 4. Click on **Automatically translate all reviews.** 5. Click **Save**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f3c2ab59-fe4c-4f93-9614-2872f40e8aa7/Images/Documentation/4.

Translations are provided to help shoppers understand reviews more easily and may contain inaccuracies. Yotpo does not guarantee translation accuracy. ## Language Detection and Availability - Reviews written in the store’s language do not display a translation option. - Reviews written in unsupported languages do not display a translation option. - If the review language cannot be detected, shoppers may see that *translation is not available*. > [!CAUTION] > **Note** > > Automatic language detection is used and may be inaccurate in rare cases, especially for closely related languages. This can affect whether the translation option appears for a specific review or the accuracy of the translated content. ## FAQ --- ### ### #### **Why isn’t my widget displayed in the correct language?** Make sure the correct language is configured in your platform and that widget interface language is enabled. #### **Why don’t I see a translation option on some reviews?** A translation option may not appear if the review is already written in the store’s language, the language is unsupported, or the language cannot be detected. #### **Does widget interface language translate review content?** No. Widget interface language and Reviews translations are separate capabilities. #### **Can I edit translated review content?** No. Translated reviews are generated automatically and cannot be edited.
