The inline element, the measuring window (sign-in, measuring, the 3D try-on view), the size guide label and the native buttons are available in all five languages. A language we do not have falls back to English.

Choosing the language

Web SDK: the locale option, on the client or on elements().

const tys = TryYourSize("pk_live_…", { locale: "es" });
// or: tys.elements({ locale: "auto" })

The window uses, in this order:

1. the locale option, when you set a language;
2. with "auto" (the default), your page’s <html lang>;
3. the shopper’s browser languages;
4. English.

So a shop whose pages already declare <html lang="fr"> needs no option at all. A region is kept for number and date formatting (es-MX, fr-CA).

• React: options.locale on <TryYourSizeProvider> (read once, when the client is created).
• iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter: the locale setting of the client; without it, the device language.
• Shopify app: the block follows the storefront’s current language (Shopify’s request.locale).

To check a language, open the window with ?locale=fr (for example in our Body app at my.tryyoursize.com/?locale=fr).

What is translated

• Everything the shopper reads in the element and the window: sign-in, measuring instructions, the try-on view, errors.
• Units and numbers are formatted per language: ease in cm, pressure in kPa, stretch in % (2,1 cm, 18 % in Spanish, French, German and Italian).
• Your product names and size labels are shown as you wrote them.
• Fit is described with objective numbers in every language (ease, pressure, stretch), never with subjective judgements.
• Shoppers are addressed as is usual for fashion retail in each language: tú in Spanish, vous in French, du in German, tu in Italian.
