How to Set Up Multi‑Language Quizzes in Lantern

Lantern supports multi-language functionality for quizzes through a feature called Automatic Language Redirect. If you want to offer your quiz in multiple languages, you’ll need to create a separate quiz for each one. Lantern then connects these quizzes seamlessly, so customers are automatically redirected to the correct version based on their selected store language.

Lantern does not combine multiple languages within a single quiz. Instead, each quiz is created separately for every language, and Lantern links them together so that users experience it as one unified quiz. When a shopper switches their store language, they are automatically redirected to the quiz that matches that language.

This setup only works for IN-STORE QUIZZES, since only the in-store version has access to the language context and details from Shopify.

The multi-language feature functions with any translation app as long as multiple languages are added to the store.

Some examples of supported apps include:

When a Shopify store supports multiple languages, each translated version is typically hosted on a different URL path, subdomain, or even domain. For example:

This distinction is crucial when linking to a quiz. If you link to example.com/products/xyz, Shopify assumes the English version (since there’s no /fr or /es in the URL). To maintain the correct language, the full URL must reflect the translated path, subdomain, or domain.

Go to Settings → Languages, and add your desired languages using Shopify Translate & Adapt or another translation app. Once added, your theme will display a language selector in the store header or menu.

In Lantern’s Translations tab, first click Add Language to add each language you want to support—just like when you added languages in Shopify. After adding French and Spanish (used here as examples), translate each interface element such as Go Back, Finish Later, Question, Email, and other labels for the selected language.

In each quiz, go to Settings → Automatic Language Redirects. Here, you can:

For example:

Remember to include the correct language path or domain indicator—for example /fr, /es, or whatever your store uses for its translated version (like a subdomain fr. or a custom domain such as store.fr). Some users might mistakenly paste only their in‑store URL without that language‑specific portion, which would break the automatic redirect.

NOTE: Make sure to interlink all language versions with each other, so Lantern recognizes them as connected.

In your Shopify navigation or buttons, avoid using the full URL (which forces the language back to English). Instead, use a relative path like:

This keeps the customer in their current language version of the store. It doesn’t matter which quiz slug you use (English, Spanish, or French) as long as it’s the relative path, not the full URL — Lantern automatically preserves the selected language context.

Once properly configured, customers are automatically redirected to the quiz in their selected language, creating a seamless multi-language experience for your store.
