## Install Universe Website Translation on Shopify

Running your store on Shopify?

You don't need a custom app, theme rebuild, or developer-heavy integration to make your Shopify store multilingual.

Universe Website Translation works via a lightweight script that you add once to your theme — and it applies across your entire store.

No product duplication.

No manual translation setup.

No complex theme edits.

- You'll now be inside your Shopify Admin dashboard.
