Overview

Translations allow you to localize validation error messages for different customer languages. By clicking the Add translation button, you can display error messages in multiple languages at checkout based on the customer’s language. You can also define a default fallback message in any language you prefer, which will be shown when a translation is not available.

​
How to set up

Summary

Here is a summary of the rule we created in the steps above:
We set the condition “Order total amount ≤ 99.99” and select the target as “Top of the checkout page”. Our default message is:
“Order amount is less than the required minimum order amount of $100.”
We then translate the error message into French and German:
  • French: “Le montant de la commande est inférieur au montant minimum requis de 100 $”
  • German: “Der Bestellbetrag liegt unter dem erforderlichen Mindestbestellwert von 100 $”
Here is how you can set it up:
