This guide is designed to help you personally manage the languages on your Shopify store with GLC. Whether you want to remove or unpublished specific target languages, understanding the difference between these two options will allow you to maintain a smooth and seamless shopping experience for your customers.

1. REMOVING THE TARGET LANGUAGE

If you want to completely remove a specific language from your Shopify store using GLC, follow these simple steps:

Navigate to "Language" in your GLC dashboard.
Click the three dots next to the language you want to remove.
Select "Remove" from the dropdown menu.
Confirm your choice to permanently remove the target language from your store.

2. UNPUBLISHED THE TARGET LANGUAGE

If you want to temporarily hide a language from your store without removing it entirely, you can unpublished it. This ensures the language is not visible in the language selector but keeps all translations intact for future use.

To unpublished a target language:

Navigate to "Language" in your GLC dashboard.
Select the language you wish to hide.
Turn the toggle off to unpublished the language.

Once unpublished, this language will no longer appear in the selector for customers, but you can easily republish it whenever needed.

3. REMOVING/ UNPUBLISH/ PUBLISHED THE TARGET LANGUAGE IN BULK

If you’ve added multiple target languages to your store and want to published, unpublished, or remove them in bulk, GLC makes it quick and easy to manage.

To perform bulk actions:

Navigate to "Language" in your GLC dashboard.
Select all the target languages you wish to manage.
Choose the action that matches your needs:
- Set as Published – make all selected languages visible in the language selector.
- Set as Unpublished – hide the selected languages without deleting them.
- Remove – permanently delete the selected languages from your store.

Using bulk management helps you efficiently handle multiple languages at once, saving time while keeping your store organized and up to date.
