Virtual try-on in French

French shoppers and your product pages

French is the language of France and Monaco, co-official in Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Canada, and widely used across West and North Africa. For store copy, two things stand out. The tu-vous distinction sets register, and most retail copy in French defaults to vous. And French runs long: translated interface text is typically wordier than its English source, so buttons and labels that fit in English can crowd or wrap in French. Accented characters — é, è, ê, ç among them — should also render cleanly in whatever typeface your theme uses.

What Looksy's language support covers

French sits in the 47-language enumeration on Looksy's App Store listing. The listing does not specify how far translation extends — shopper-facing try-on widget, merchant dashboard, or both — and that distinction matters most for the widget, since it is what your customers see. Verify it directly: the Free plan has unlimited try-ons, so switch your storefront to French, run the flow, and read each label, noting its register and length. Remember, too, that the result is visual — the try-on image communicates fit and look without a word of French.

Setting up for French-speaking shoppers

In Shopify's admin, set French as your store's language or add it for French-speaking markets such as Quebec or Belgium. Looksy's try-on block installs as a theme app extension from the theme editor — no theme code edits, clean uninstall. With that in place, test on the Free plan: upload a photo on a product page and watch for the two French-specific issues from above — labels that wrap or truncate because French text runs long, and accented characters in your theme's font. If you localize per market, repeat the check on each French storefront.

The try-on flow in any language

The try-on mechanics never vary with language. A shopper uploads one photo; the result appears on the product page in roughly 20 seconds; no app, account, or camera permission is involved. Retry, feedback, download, and share come standard. On pricing, Free offers unlimited try-ons with Looksy branding and a $100 additional-revenue cap, Starter is $14.99 per month, Growth is $29, and Scale is $79 with realtime video try-on and no revenue ceiling. All of it bills through Shopify on usage, with no contracts.
