Translations are missing after changing the theme
After publishing a new theme, the Selector or translations stop appearing, or theme text loses its saved wording.
1. Enable GLC on the new theme
- In Shopify admin, open Online Store → Themes and click Edit theme on the published theme.
- Open App embeds, turn on Gelacy Widgets (shown with Geolocation - GLC underneath), and click Save.
- If you opened the editor from GLC, return to the app and click Verify Now.
App embeds are configured per theme. Test the live storefront after saving. See Enable the GLC app embed.
2. Translate the new theme's resources
Saved theme translations belong to the theme where they were created. Your new theme can have different sections, blocks, and translation resources.
Open Language → Manage translation → Theme and find the new content under Templates, Home page, or Default theme content. Add the translation and click Save for each target language.
Product, collection, page, blog, and navigation translations are stored separately from theme content. If one of these is missing, check An edited translation does not appear on the storefront.
Check the affected pages on the published theme. If translations are still missing, send the old and new theme names, page URL, target language, and exact text to [email protected]. We'll look into it for you.
