Does Yoast SEO for Shopify recognize my language?

Even the best content writers need some helpful tools to improve their online texts to make them readable. But, most of the software is geared towards the English language. So, what if you want to write in another language? You’ve come to the right place! Yoast SEO for Shopify offers a readability and SEO analysis for a host of other languages!

The benefits of language recognition in Yoast SEO for Shopify

  • Write readable texts in your native language

Why is language recognition important?

SEO tools focus heavily on language. To optimize your content, you need keyphrase analysis, and there is also a ton that goes into readability. Of course, each language is unique, so the analysis needs to be tailored to each language’s specifics. With Yoast SEO for Shopify, you can be sure that you have all the essential SEO aspects covered, even if your primary language is not English.
