FAQ
Can color swatches be translated for multi-language websites?
Yes, color swatches can be translated if you are using multiple languages. This typically involves translating the color mapping or variant names in the translation app you use (e.g., Shopify’s Translate & Adapt app, Langify, Weglot). The translation must be properly configured so that the swatch images or colors correspond correctly to the translated color names.
How to handle translation conflicts or missing swatches in other languages?
Often, swatches work based on the default language color names. If translations are not aligned, swatches may not show images in secondary languages but only text. A common solution is to bulk-reset color translations and then translate them using strict global modes in translation apps like Langify, or to set swatches explicitly per language in apps like EComposer.
Is it possible to have different swatches for the same color name depending on product?
No, typically you can only have one swatch rule per color name. To have different swatches for the same color name, custom development is required.
Do color swatches affect website performance?
Color swatches are optimized for performance, but if you have many color options (20+), it is recommended to disable swatches on collection pages to maintain speed.
