You can change every word customers see in the booking calendar, such as the Select a time button, headings, and messages. You can also choose the calendar's language, or set up text for several languages.
All of this is in Settings > Text & Language.
Change a button or message
- Click Settings in the app menu, then Text & Language.
- Scroll to Text Customization.
- In Search, type a word you see on your store, such as "checkout" or "cart".
- Type your new text in the field.
- Click Save in the bar at the top of the page.
Some common texts and their default wording:
| Text | Default |
|---|---|
| Select a time button | Select a time |
| Title | Select a time for {{{event}}} |
| Add Booking to Cart Button | Add to Cart |
| Continue to Checkout Button | Checkout |
| Book Another Appointment Button | Book Another Appointment |
| Continue Shopping Button | Continue Shopping |
| No Timeslots available | No timeslots available |
| Spots available in a timeslot | {{{available}}} / {{{total}}} available |
Words inside triple curly brackets, such as {{{event}}}, are filled in by the app. Keep them if you want that detail to show.
After you save, reload your product page to see the change. If you still see the old text, press Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows).
Choose the calendar's language
- Go to Settings > Text & Language.
- Under Languages, choose Single Language.
- Choose a language: English (12-hour or 24-hour clock), French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, Italian, Swedish, Polish, Finnish, Danish, or Dutch.
- Click Save.
Day names, month names, and the built-in text change to that language.
Use several languages
If your store is in more than one language, the calendar can show each customer the language they are browsing in.
- Under Languages, choose Multi-Language.
- If you already changed some text, the app warns you that those changes will be reset. Click Enable Multi-Language Mode to continue.
- In Text Customization, choose a language from Select a language...
- Change any text for that language. Leave a field blank to use the built-in translation.
- Repeat for each language, then click Save.
These settings change the booking calendar and customer pages only. The app's admin screens stay in English. To translate the rest of your store, use Shopify's Translate & Adapt app.
