Virtual try-on in Chinese (Traditional)

Chinese (Traditional) shoppers and your product pages

Traditional Chinese characters remain the standard written form in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. The forms are generally more intricate than their simplified counterparts, carrying more strokes per character, which raises the stakes on typography: at small sizes and low weights, dense glyphs can blur, so button labels and fine print deserve extra scrutiny. As with all Chinese writing, the script is character-based with no spaces between words, and translated interface strings frequently run shorter than English ones. Note too that Taiwan and Hong Kong differ in vocabulary and phrasing conventions, so a single Traditional Chinese translation may still benefit from regional review.

What Looksy's language support covers

Looksy's App Store listing includes Chinese (Traditional) in its enumeration of 47 languages, separate from Chinese (Simplified). Beyond that inclusion, the listing does not specify translation depth — shopper-facing try-on interface versus merchant dashboard — so the practical question of what a Taiwanese or Hong Kong shopper actually sees is one you answer by looking. Set your storefront to Traditional Chinese, run the try-on flow on the Free plan, and read every visible string before you market the feature. The heart of the experience needs no localization at all: the shopper looking at an image of themselves in your product.

Setting up for Chinese (Traditional)-speaking shoppers

Add Traditional Chinese as a published language in your Shopify language settings and supply translations for your storefront content. The Looksy try-on block goes in through a theme app extension — enabled from the theme editor, no theme code edits, clean uninstall — so localization work stays in Shopify's translation tooling rather than in Liquid files. Then test with intent. The Free plan includes unlimited try-ons, which means you can run the flow repeatedly at no cost while checking that your theme's font stack covers traditional glyphs properly, that button microcopy reads naturally, and that compact Chinese strings have not left oddly proportioned buttons behind.

The try-on flow in any language

The published mechanics hold regardless of script. A shopper uploads one photo; the result lands on the product page in roughly 20 seconds; no app, no account, and no camera permission stand in the way. Retry, feedback, download, and share are all built into the flow. The Free plan gives unlimited try-ons with Looksy branding, and the paid tiers are Starter at $14.99 monthly, Growth at $29, and Scale at $79 — the tier that unlocks Realtime video try-on. Because billing is usage-based through Shopify with no contracts, a Traditional Chinese storefront can validate the experience on Free before committing to a paid plan.
