Displayed tags change according to the selected language and configuration method.
Selected language | Use excluded tags | Use priority tags |
|---|---|---|
Japanese | Display all tags except the specified English tags | Display only the specified Japanese tags |
English | Display all tags except the specified Japanese tags | Display only the English tags specified in the translation field |
Check: Switch between Japanese and English in the online store and confirm that only the intended tags appear in each language.
Use excluded tags when there are few tags to exclude or when new tags that are not registered as priority tags should also appear.
Use priority tags when you need strict control over displayed tags or there are many tags to exclude.
When using excluded tags, add the new tag in the other language to "Exclude tags" in both the theme editor and the Shopify Translate & Adapt translation field.
When using priority tags, add the new tag you want to display to "Priority tags" in both the theme editor and the Shopify Translate & Adapt translation field.
It can be used on product, collection, blog, and blog post templates where the "Tag list (Regular Plan)" app block can be added.
