Open the category in Products › Categories, fill Name in Bangla, Icon (emoji) and Order, and press Update. Shoppers who read your shop in বাংলা see the Bangla name, the icon sits next to the name in the category menus, and Order sets which category comes first.
Where to find it
Admin › Online store › Products › Categories: the three boxes are just under Parent Category, on the form for a new category and on the edit form (the edit icon in the Action column).
You need the Products & stock feature. The store owner always has it.
Step by step
- Go to Admin › Online store › Products › Categories.
- Press the edit icon next to the category, for example "Panjabi".
- In Name in Bangla (বাংলা নাম), type "পাঞ্জাবি".
- In Icon (emoji) (আইকন (ইমোজি)), paste one emoji, for example 👕. The box takes up to 16 characters.
- In Order, type a number: 1 for the category you want first, 2 for the next, and so on.
- Press Update.
How it works
- Bangla name. When a shopper switches your shop to বাংলা, the category menus, the All categories page and the trail at the top of the category page show the Bangla name. In English they show Category Name. Without a Bangla name, the English name shows in both.
- Icon. It shows before the name in the All categories menu on computers and in the side rail of the All categories page (/category). A main category without an icon gets a plain dot there.
- Order. In the shop's menus, lower numbers come first. Categories with Order 0 or empty come after the numbered ones, by name. The order works at each level: main categories among themselves, and the sub-categories of one main category among themselves.
- The first 8 main categories in this order also sit in the menu bar on computers, next to All categories.
Example: Rangdhanu Fashion gives Panjabi order 1 and 👕, Three-piece order 2 and 👗, Saree order 3. Accessories has no order, so it comes last.
Good to know
- The address does not change. The page address is made from the English name, and the Bangla name does not touch it.
- The page heading (the big title on the category page) uses Category Name.
- New categories: the AI button in the category's SEO (Google) section can suggest the Bangla name and an icon when those boxes are empty.
Common problems
- The Bangla name does not show. The shopper is reading the shop in English. Press বাংলা in the shop header to check.
- A category is in the wrong place. Check its Order; 0 or empty puts it after every numbered one.
