Virtual try-on in Vietnamese

Vietnamese shoppers and your product pages

Vietnamese is the official language of Vietnam and is written in chữ Quốc ngữ, a Latin-based alphabet carrying one of the densest diacritic systems of any Latin-script language. Tone marks and vowel modifiers can stack, so a single letter may carry two marks, as in ế or ộ. For a Shopify store, the practical consequence is typography: some webfonts clip or misplace stacked Vietnamese diacritics, which reads as broken text to native speakers. Layout direction is left-to-right and unremarkable; the rendering of your chosen font is the thing to check.

What Looksy's language support covers

Vietnamese appears in the 47-language list enumerated on Looksy's Shopify App Store listing. What the listing does not publish is translation depth — whether every shopper-facing string in the try-on flow is localized, and how much of the merchant dashboard follows. Rather than assume, verify: the Free plan includes unlimited try-ons, so you can walk the full shopper flow in Vietnamese before you promote it. It helps that the core of the product is a generated image of the shopper wearing the garment. A picture needs no translation; the words around it still deserve a check.

Setting up for Vietnamese-speaking shoppers

Start in Shopify's own settings: add Vietnamese as a store language so your product pages, checkout, and notifications are translated at the platform level. Looksy installs as a theme app extension — you add its block in the theme editor without touching theme code, and uninstalling leaves nothing behind. Once the block is live, run test try-ons on the Free plan, which does not meter them. Read the button microcopy and any helper text as a Vietnamese speaker would, and confirm your theme's font renders stacked diacritics correctly at button sizes, where clipping is most common.

The try-on flow in any language

The mechanics are the same whatever language surrounds them. A shopper uploads one photo — no app, no account, no camera permission — and sees themselves in the garment on the product page in roughly 20 seconds. They can retry, leave feedback, download the result, or share it. Pricing runs from a Free plan with unlimited try-ons and Looksy branding, through Starter at $14.99 per month and Growth at $29, to Scale at $79, which adds Realtime video try-on and removes the revenue cap. Billing is usage-based through Shopify, with no contracts.
