Internationalization

Internationalization makes ShopNest usable beyond English. The storefront is localized into six languages, with the interface text translated and a language switcher so shoppers can read the store in the language they prefer.

Supported languages

ShopNest ships translations for:

  • English (en)
  • Spanish (es)
  • French (fr)
  • German (de)
  • Arabic (ar) — with right-to-left layout
  • Chinese (zh)

The app uses i18next for translation management, and a language switcher in the interface lets shoppers change languages on the fly.

Right-to-left support

Arabic is a right-to-left language, and ShopNest accounts for that in its layout so the interface reads naturally rather than simply swapping words into a left-to-right frame. This makes the store genuinely usable for RTL readers, not just nominally translated.

What gets translated

Interface text — navigation, buttons, labels, and standard messages — is translated across the supported languages. Product data entered by the store reflects how the store authored it.
