Product Images Not Translating on Homepage and Collections? Here's the Fix

Your product images translate on product pages but show English on homepage and collections. Here’s how to fix it.

TL;DR: Your product images are translated on product pages, but they still show English text on your homepage and collection pages. Here’s how to fix that.
Image Translate Easy now supports all page types.

The Problem: Images Only Translate on Product Pages

You set up image translations for your Shopify store. You visit a product page in German and see your translated size chart. Perfect.

Then you visit your homepage. The featured products still show English images. You check a collection page. Same problem. English images everywhere except on the actual product pages.

This is frustrating because customers often browse your homepage and collections before clicking through to products. They see English images and think your store isn’t properly localized.

Why This Happens

Most image translation solutions only work on product pages because:

  • Product pages have direct access to product data: The translation metadata is easy to retrieve
  • Homepage and collections load products differently: They pull from collections, featured sections, or custom blocks
  • Technical complexity: Supporting all page types requires handling multiple data sources

The result: your carefully translated images only appear in one place.

Where Customers See Product Images

Think about your customer journey:

  1. Homepage: Featured products, bestsellers, new arrivals
  2. Collection pages: Product grids with thumbnails
  3. Search results: Product images in search
  4. Cart: Product thumbnails in checkout
  5. Product pages: Full product gallery

If translations only work on step 5, you’re showing English images for 80% of the customer journey.

The Solution

Image Translate Easy translates product images on:

  • Product pages: Full gallery support
  • Collection pages: All product thumbnails
  • Homepage: Featured collections, product grids, recommendations
  • Search results: Product images in search
  • Cart: Line item thumbnails

One app, all page types. Your customers see translated images from the moment they land on your store.

How It Works

The app automatically detects which page type the customer is viewing and loads the appropriate translations:

  1. Customer visits your homepage in German
  2. App detects the German locale
  3. App loads translations for all products displayed on the page
  4. Images swap to German versions automatically

No extra configuration needed. If you’ve uploaded translated images for a product, they’ll appear everywhere that product is shown.

Quick Setup

  1. Install the app and enable the theme embed
  2. Upload translated images for your products
  3. Test: Switch your store language and browse homepage, collections, and product pages

All your translated images will appear consistently across your entire store.
