Virtual try-on in Maltese

Maltese shoppers and your product pages

Maltese is the national language of Malta, where it is official alongside English, and it is an official language of the European Union. It is a Semitic language written in the Latin script — the only Semitic language among the EU's official languages — with distinctive letters such as ċ, ġ, ħ, and ż and the digraph għ. Centuries of contact left it with substantial vocabulary from Sicilian, Italian, and English. Because English is official in Malta too, many stores serve Maltese shoppers in English; offering Maltese as well is a deliberate localisation choice, and those dotted letters must render cleanly in your theme.

What Looksy's language support covers

Maltese sits in the enumeration of 47 supported languages on Looksy's current Shopify App Store listing. The listing stops there: it does not state whether translation reaches the shopper-facing try-on widget, the merchant dashboard, or both, so treat depth as something to confirm rather than assume. The practical check costs nothing — the Free plan's unlimited try-ons let you set your storefront to Maltese and click through every step a shopper would see. And keep the core of the product in view: the try-on output is an image, and an image of yourself in a garment reads the same in Maltese, English, or any other language.

Setting up for Maltese-speaking shoppers

Add Maltese as a storefront language in Shopify's settings so your product pages and checkout can carry translated content, then enable Looksy's block through the theme app extension — it slots into the theme editor with no code edits and removes cleanly if you uninstall. Test on the Free plan before spending anything: run try-ons as a shopper, read every piece of button microcopy in context, and watch for characters like ħ and ġ in your theme's typeface, since not every font family includes them. If your store also runs in English, compare both storefront languages side by side.

The try-on flow in any language

The mechanics Looksy publishes are simple. A shopper uploads a single photo; about 20 seconds later the try-on result appears on the product page. Nothing to install on their side — no app, no account, no camera permission. From the result they can retry, give feedback, download, or share. Pricing starts free: unlimited try-ons, Looksy branding, and a $100 cap on additional revenue. Starter ($14.99 per month, 100 photo credits) removes the branding, Growth ($29, 300 credits) raises the caps further, and Scale ($79, 600 credits) unlocks unlimited revenue plus realtime video try-on. Usage-based billing goes through Shopify, with no contracts.
