Virtual try-on in Basque

Basque shoppers and your product pages

Basque, called Euskara by its speakers, is used in the Basque Country, a region spanning northern Spain and southwestern France; it is co-official in Spain's Basque Autonomous Community and in part of Navarre. Linguistically it is a genuine outlier — a language isolate with no demonstrated relationship to any other living language family — so its vocabulary and grammar do not lean on Spanish or French the way neighbouring Romance languages lean on each other. It is written in the Latin alphabet, which keeps rendering simple, but translated copy cannot be sanity-checked by a Romance-language speaker skimming for cognates.

What Looksy's language support covers

Basque appears in the enumeration of 47 supported languages on Looksy's Shopify App Store listing. How deep the translation goes — the shopper-facing try-on interface, the merchant dashboard, or both — is not something the listing publishes, so the working assumption should be verify-first. On the Free plan, set your storefront to Basque and click through the try-on as a shopper: because Basque shares so little vocabulary with its neighbours, you will know immediately whether the interface is actually in Basque. The result image, meanwhile, is a photo of the shopper in the product — no language required.

Setting up for Basque-speaking shoppers

Add Basque as a published language in Shopify's settings, assuming your theme's translations support it, then place the Looksy block from the theme editor — it is a theme app extension, so no theme code edits are involved and uninstalling is clean. Test with the Free plan's unlimited try-ons on live product pages. Latin script means no rendering surprises, so your review effort goes into the words themselves: read the button microcopy and any short interface strings carefully, ideally with a Basque speaker, since a Romance-language cognate check will not catch errors here.

The try-on flow in any language

The try-on mechanics do not change by language. A shopper uploads a single photo; the result appears on the product page in roughly 20 seconds; there is no app to install, no account to create, and no camera permission to grant. Retry, feedback, download, and share are part of the flow. Pricing starts with a Free plan — unlimited try-ons, Looksy branding, a $100 additional-revenue cap — then Starter at $14.99 per month, Growth at $29, and Scale at $79, which adds realtime video try-on. Billing is usage-based through Shopify, with no contracts.
