Mega menu not working when changing the store languages
🧾 The issue
Your mega menu disappears or stops working after switching your store to another language?
This often happens when the Menu item fields are translated, which breaks the connection between your theme settings and the mega menu layout.
The theme uses the setting to link with your mega menu blocks to the Header section.
See how to set up Mega menu:
If this field is translated (e.g. “Shop” becomes “Boutique”), the theme can’t find the match anymore — and your mega menu won’t appear.
✅ How to Fix it
The following steps are applied to Shopify Translate & Adapt app.
If you're using another translation app (e.g. Weglot, Langify, LangShop, etc.):
🔍 Look for fields related to:
Theme settings
Header group
Menu titles / Navigation titles
Here’s how to keep your mega menu working across languages:
Steps:
Go to your Shopify Admin > Translate & Adapt.
Click on the language you're translating.
Navigate to: Section Groups > Header group
DO NOT translate the "Menu titles" under the Header group.
These fields are the theme settings, leaving translations for these fields blank won't have any affect to the overall translation of the site.
