Your cookie banner in every shopper’s language
Every EU language comes pre-translated, Pandectes detects which one each visitor needs, and you can rewrite any text or add any other language with Google Translate. Your banner, preferences and privacy pages speak to shoppers the way your store does.
What is a multilingual cookie banner?
A multilingual cookie banner shows its message, buttons and cookie categories in the visitor’s own language. Under the GDPR, consent only counts when it is informed, and a visitor can’t be informed by a banner they can’t read. A banner in the shopper’s language is clearer, more trusted, and more likely to be accepted.
Three ways to translate
- 24 languages
Pre-configured
Add a language and every text arrives already translated, for all 24 official EU languages.
- Custom
Your own words
Change any text in any language, or leave it empty to keep the suggested translation.
- Automated
Google Translate
Translate your default texts into any extra language in one click, then fine-tune the result.
Four ways to pick the visitor’s language
Choose how Pandectes decides which language to show. The banner follows the same rule on every page.
- From store locale Follows the language your Shopify store is showing.
- From browser preferences Uses the language the visitor’s browser asks for.
- From IP address Detects the visitor’s country and shows its language.
- From URL Reads the language from the address, such as /de, set by Shopify Markets or a translation app.

One editor for every text the app shows your shoppers, each beside its reference text, with Auto-translate and Reset a click away.

Language and translation questions, answered
Does my cookie banner need to be in the visitor’s language?
Under the GDPR, consent must be informed, which means the visitor has to understand what they agree to. Many EU regulators expect the banner in the language of the people the site serves. Pandectes shows each visitor the banner in their own language, with all 24 EU languages ready.
Which languages are pre-translated?
All 24 official EU languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish and Swedish. Any other language can be added with your own texts or Google Translate.
How does Pandectes choose the visitor’s language?
You choose the rule: the store’s current locale, the visitor’s browser preferences, their country from the IP address, or the language in the URL, such as /de. The URL option works with Shopify Markets and translation apps.
Can I change the default translations?
Yes. In Settings > Language & translations, edit any language and change any text, section by section. Leave a field empty to keep the suggested text, or Reset to start over.
What can be translated?
Every text the app shows shoppers: the cookie notice, the preferences center, the consent widget, the cookie categories, the web accessibility tool, the EU withdrawal form, the cookies declaration and the customer data request forms.
