# Translating the welcome message based on geolocation

Zipchat can translate your chatbot’s **welcome message based on the user’s geolocation**, but this feature is currently available **only for Shopify customers**.

If you are using Shopify and would like to enable this functionality, please reach out to our support team — we’ll be happy to configure it for you.

Please note:

* The geolocation-based translation applies **only to the welcome message**.
* It does **not** apply to prefilled messages (quick reply buttons).
* At this time, quick reply buttons cannot be translated automatically based on geolocation.

***

#### If You’re Not Using Shopify

Unfortunately, geolocation-based translation of the welcome message is not available for non-Shopify platforms.

As an alternative, you can:

* Create a separate bot for each language.
* Assign each bot to the corresponding language subdomain of your website.

This approach allows you to fully customize the content and language experience for each audience.
