Smart Emails currently supports 33 languages, with more languages added continuously. You design the emails once in a primary language. Every additional language inherits the same visual design and receives its own translated content.

Primary vs secondary editor

  • Primary editor — full control over design (style, fonts, layout) and text. This is your main language.
  • Secondary editors — text editing only. Design controls are hidden. You see a blue banner: "Text editing only."

What gets translated

All text fields are translated automatically:

  • Intro text, closing text
  • Button labels
  • Footer text (legal, copyright, free text)
  • Section headings
  • Marketing section text (discounts, products, etc.)
  • Message banner text
  • FAQ questions and answers

Smart Emails installs the translated email body for primary templates already present in Shopify. Notification subject lines are currently managed separately and are not automatically translated by Smart Emails.
