The Poland Market

Poland is Central Europe’s largest e-commerce market at €20+ billion annually, growing 15%+ per year.

Properly translated care labels signal that you take the Polish-speaking market seriously. It builds trust and reduces returns from customers who couldn’t understand washing instructions.

Polish Language Considerations

Polish uses special characters: ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż. Complex grammar with 7 cases affects word forms.

When translating product images for your Shopify store, keep these language-specific requirements in mind. Your translations need to display correctly on the actual product labels.

How to Add Polish Care Labels in Shopify

You have several options to display translated care instructions:

  1. Product descriptions: Add translated care text to your localized product descriptions.
  2. Image translation: Replace care label images with Polish versions using Image Translate Easy.
