Virtual try-on in Hebrew

Hebrew shoppers and your product pages

Hebrew is written right to left, which means a Hebrew storefront mirrors its layout: menus, product grids, carousels, and form fields all flip, and any component hard-coded for left-to-right reading will show it. The script has no distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters, so emphasis conventions differ from Latin-script design. Everyday Hebrew text is also written without most vowel marks — the niqqud diacritics appear mainly in children's books, poetry, and prayer books, not in commerce copy. Mixed-direction content deserves particular care: product names, prices, and SKUs in Latin characters or digits sit inside right-to-left sentences, and sloppy handling produces visibly scrambled lines.

What Looksy's language support covers

Hebrew is included in the 47 languages Looksy's Shopify App Store listing enumerates. The listing publishes the list, not the depth — it does not say whether translation covers the shopper-facing try-on widget, the merchant dashboard, or both, and it does not describe RTL behavior. For a right-to-left storefront that gap is worth closing yourself: enable the app, open a Hebrew product page, and complete the try-on flow on the Free plan before telling shoppers about it. What survives any translation gap untouched is the output — the shopper sees themselves wearing the product, and that image argues in no particular language.

Setting up for Hebrew-speaking shoppers

Start in Shopify's language settings: publish Hebrew and translate your storefront, and confirm your theme genuinely supports right-to-left layout, since page direction is the theme's job rather than the app's. Looksy's block arrives as a theme app extension — you switch it on in the theme editor, touch no theme code, and it uninstalls cleanly if you change course. Then spend time in the flow as a shopper would. Unlimited try-ons on the Free plan mean testing costs nothing: check the button microcopy, watch how the widget behaves inside a mirrored page, and look closely at any line mixing Hebrew with Latin product names or prices.

The try-on flow in any language

Reading direction changes nothing about how the try-on itself operates. A shopper uploads a single photo and gets the result on the product page in about 20 seconds, without installing an app, creating an account, or granting camera access. They can retry with a new photo, leave feedback, and download or share the image. The Free plan includes unlimited try-ons with Looksy branding; Starter costs $14.99 a month, Growth $29, and Scale $79, with Realtime video try-on reserved for Scale. Billing is usage-based through Shopify and involves no contracts — reasonable terms for proving a Hebrew storefront's try-on experience before spending anything.
