To change text labels for different languages in the Store Locator app, you can easily do this through the Translation Tab found within the Settings section of the app. This feature is designed to give you full control over the text displayed on the frontend, allowing you to modify any label and translate it into the language of your choice.
This feature supports one language at a time, but for users requiring multiple languages, a multi-language add-on is available as an alternative to third-party apps.
Note: Currently our apps are designed to allow for one language at a time.
If you want to allow the app to work on multiple sites/languages, we recommend the use of a third-party translation app or the multi-language add-on. Most clients who offer the site in multiple languages use one of these options for translation. As a result, our current offering allows you to modify the base language of the app. For example, if you offer your site in Italian, you can do that using the app. However, if you wanted Italian, Spanish, and English, we would recommend installing an additional app or using the multi-language add-on. If you would like a recommendation for a translate app, please reach out to support.
RP ProMap — Translation Tab: Step-by-Step
Single vs. Multi-language Options
Single Language: If you only need the Store Locator page in one language, the Translation tab is sufficient for your needs. You do not require any additional add-ons.
Multiple Languages: If you need to display the Store Locator page in multiple languages, you can opt for the multi-language add-on. This add-on allows you to manage and display content in several languages simultaneously.
Open RP ProMap
In Shopify Admin, go to Apps → RP ProMap.
Open the Translation tab on the Settings Page
This tab lists every text label used in the map widget (placeholders, buttons, error messages, etc.)..
Find the label you want to change
Use the Search feature in your browser to find the element you want to update (e.g., Search, Buttons, Errors) to quickly locate a label.
Edit the translation
In the Translation column, click into the field and type your new wording.
Keep it short and action-oriented (e.g., “Get Directions” instead of “Click here to get directions”). Example here - Directions --> direzioni (Italian example) note you can preview you changes as you make them.
Save your changes
Click Save (or Save & Publish, if shown) to apply changes to the selected language.
Preview on your storefront
Visit a page with the ProMap widget to confirm the new labels appear as expected.
Quick Tips
Test on mobile to ensure long labels don’t wrap awkwardly.
If a change doesn’t appear, hard-refresh or clear cache.
Keep button text concise; short verbs tend to convert better.
By following these steps, you can fully customize the frontend text to support multiple languages, enhancing the user experience for customers from different regions. This flexibility ensures that your Store Locator app can cater to a diverse audience with accurate and localized text labels.
