> [Checkout UI extensions](/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions) that render on the information and shipping and payment steps in checkout are available only to stores on a [Shopify Plus](https://www.shopify.com/plus) plan.




In this tutorial, you'll use JavaScript API functions to localize an extension that displays a customer's loyalty point balance. You'll localize the extension text, the number format of the loyalty points balance, and the monetary value of the points. You'll also provide translations for singular and plural values. You can use what you learn here to localize other extensions.

## What you'll learn

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to do the following tasks:

- Create a checkout UI extension that renders some text in the checkout flow with some basic localization.

- Run the extension locally and test it on a development store.

- Define translation data and localize the following elements:

  - Numbers using a `formatNumber` function similar to the [`Intl` object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl)
  - Currency using a `formatCurrency` `Intl` object
  - Singular and plural values

- Deploy your extension code to Shopify.

## Requirements

- You've created a [Partner account](https://www.shopify.com/partners).

- You've created a new [development store](/docs/api/development-stores) with the following:
    - [Generated test data](/docs/api/development-stores/generated-test-data)
    - [Checkout and Customer Accounts Extensibility developer preview](/docs/api/release-notes/developer-previews#previewing-new-features) enabled

- You've [created an app that uses Shopify CLI 3.0 or higher](/docs/apps/build/scaffold-app).


- You're familiar with [how localization works for checkout UI extensions](/docs/apps/build/checkout/localized-checkout-ui-extensions).

- [You've added and published a second language](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/markets/languages/manage-languages) to your development store.

- [You've activated the language](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/markets/languages/manage-languages#manage-languages-for-markets) in your development store's primary market.

## Sample code

You can copy and paste the following code into your `index` file and add a few example values to get the extension to render in the browser. 
The rest of the tutorial walks through this sample code step-by-step.

## Step 1: Create a UI extension

> Note:
> If you already have a checkout UI extension that you want to localize, then you can skip to [step 2](#step-2-define-translations).

To create a checkout UI extension, you can use Shopify CLI, which generates starter code for building your extension and automates common development tasks.

1. Navigate to your app directory:

    <p>
    <div class="react-code-block" data-preset="terminal">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload ThemeMode-dim">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-bar "></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-placeholder-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>

    </div>
    </div>


    <script type="text/plain" data-language="bash">
    RAW_MD_CONTENTcd <directory>
    END_RAW_MD_CONTENT</script>

    </div>
    </p>


1. Run the following command to create a new checkout UI extension:

    <p>
        <div class="react-code-block" data-preset="terminal">
        <div class="react-code-block-preload ThemeMode-dim">
        <div class="react-code-block-preload-bar "></div>
        <div class="react-code-block-preload-placeholder-container">
        <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
        <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
        <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
        </div>

        </div>
        </div>


        <script type="text/plain" data-language="bash">
        RAW_MD_CONTENTshopify app generate extension --template checkout_ui --name my-checkout-ui-extension
        END_RAW_MD_CONTENT</script>

        </div>
        </p>


1. Select a language for your extension. You can choose from TypeScript, JavaScript, TypeScript React, or JavaScript React.

    > Tip:
    > TypeScript or JavaScript is suitable for smaller projects that require a more straightforward API. TypeScript React or JavaScript React is suitable when you want an easy model for mapping state updates to UI updates. With JavaScript or TypeScript, you need to map state updates yourself. This process is similar to writing an application targeting the DOM, versus using `react-dom`.

    You should now have a new extension directory in your app's directory. The extension directory includes the extension script at `src/index.{file-extension}`. The following is an example directory structure:

    <p>
    <div class="react-code-block" data-preset="file">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload ThemeMode-dim">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-bar "></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-placeholder-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>

    </div>
    </div>

    <script data-option="filename" data-value="Checkout UI extension file structure"></script>

    <script type="text/plain" data-language="none">
    RAW_MD_CONTENT└── my-app
      └── extensions
        └── my-checkout-ui-extension
            ├── src
            │   └── Checkout.jsx OR Checkout.js // The index page of the checkout UI extension

    </div>
    </p>




1. Start your development server to build and preview your app:

    <p>
    <div class="react-code-block" data-preset="terminal">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload ThemeMode-dim">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-bar "></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-placeholder-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>

    </div>
    </div>


    <script type="text/plain" data-language="bash">
    RAW_MD_CONTENTshopify app dev 
    END_RAW_MD_CONTENT</script>

    </div>
    </p>


    To learn about the processes that are executed when you run `dev`, refer to the [Shopify CLI command reference](/docs/api/shopify-cli/app/app-dev).

1. Press `p` to open the developer console. In the developer console page, click on the preview link for your extension.


## Step 2: Define translations

To define translations, you'll adjust the `[locale].json` files in the `extensions/<name-of-checkout-ui-extension>/locales` folder within your app.

> Tip:
> In this tutorial, you'll keep French (`fr`, non-regional) as an available locale. However, you can also create translations for additional locales.

### Set the default locale

Your default locale specifies which locale Shopify should use when no other appropriate locale can be matched. In this example, English (`en`) is already the default locale. However, you can set any locale to be your default locale.

To change your default locale, go to the `locales` folder and change the `[locale].json` filename to `[locale].default.json`.

### Add translation strings

In this step, you'll add translations for different plural forms. You'll set translations for the `many`, `one` and `other` plural rules needed for French (`fr`), but you can specify any pluralization key that [`Intl.PluralRules.select()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/PluralRules/select) supports and that's appropriate for the locale.

In subsequent steps, you'll define [`balance`](#step-5-translate-the-balance-remaining-message) and [`points`](#step-6-translate-the-loyalty-points-message-with-plural-values) using a placeholder.

1. In `en.default.json`, add the following code:

    <p>
    <div class="react-code-block" data-preset="file">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload ThemeMode-dim">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-bar "></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-placeholder-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>

    </div>
    </div>

    <script data-option="filename" data-value="locales/en.default.json"></script>

    <script type="text/plain" data-language="json">
    RAW_MD_CONTENT
    {
      "loyaltyPoints": {
        "one": "You have {{formattedPoints}} loyalty point",
        "other": "You have {{formattedPoints}} loyalty points"
      },
      "balanceRemaining": "Your balance is {{formattedBalance}}"
    }
    
    
    END_RAW_MD_CONTENT</script>

    </div>
    </p>


1. In the `fr.json` file, add the translated content:

    <p>
    <div class="react-code-block" data-preset="file">

    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>

    </div>
    </div>

    <script data-option="filename" data-value="locales/fr.json"></script>

    <script type="text/plain" data-language="json">
    RAW_MD_CONTENT
    {
      "loyaltyPoints": {
        "many": "Vous avez {{formattedPoints}} de points de fidélité",

      "balanceRemaining": "Votre solde est de {{formattedBalance}}"
    }
    
    END_RAW_MD_CONTENT</script>

    </div>
    </p>


## Step 3: Localize the currency

Now that you've defined translations, you'll learn how to localize currency.

You'll add the `formatCurrency` function provided by `i18n`. The function wraps the standard [`Intl`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl) object.

</div>


<script type="text/plain" data-language="jsx" data-title="src/Checkout.jsx">
RAW_MD_CONTENT...
function App() {
  // Use i18n provided by the extension API
  const { i18n } = useApi();
  // Use the translate function
  const translate = useTranslate();

  const balance = 9.99;
  // Localize the currency based on the current locale
  const formattedBalance = i18n.formatCurrency(balance);
  ...
};
END_RAW_MD_CONTENT</script>
<script type="text/plain" data-language="js" data-title="src/Checkout.js">
RAW_MD_CONTENT...
export default extension("purchase.checkout.block.render", (root, { i18n }) => {
  // Use i18n provided by the extension API
  const balance = 9.99;
  // Localize the currency based on the current locale
  const formattedBalance = i18n.formatCurrency(balance);
  ...
});
END_RAW_MD_CONTENT</script>

</div>
</p>


Depending on the current locale, `9.99` will now resolve to the following localized currency formats:

- **`en`**: `$9.99`

- **`fr`**: `9,99`

## Step 4: Localize numbers

In this step, you'll learn how to resolve localized numbers.

You'll localize number formatting using the `formatNumber` function provided by `i18n`. The function wraps the standard [`Intl`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl) object.

<script type="text/plain" data-language="jsx" data-title="src/Checkout.jsx">
RAW_MD_CONTENT...
function App() {
  ...
  const points = 10000;
  // Localize the number based on the current locale
  const formattedPoints = i18n.formatNumber(points);
  ...
};
END_RAW_MD_CONTENT</script>
<script type="text/plain" data-language="js" data-title="src/Checkout.js">

  ...
});
END_RAW_MD_CONTENT</script>

</p>


Depending on the current locale, `10000` will resolve to one of the following localized number formats:

- **`en`**: `10,000`

- **`fr`**: `10 000`

## Step 5: Translate the balance remaining message

In this step, you'll learn how to translate the balance remaining message using a placeholder.

You'll use a placeholder for `formattedBalance`. You'll also call the `translate` function, which sends the `formattedBalance` variable so that it can be used in the translation string.

> Note:
> When using React, and [UI components as placeholders](/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/latest/apis), you should use the provided [`useTranslate`](/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/latest/react-hooks/localization/usetranslate) hook. This will make sure the [required unique key](https://reactjs.org/docs/lists-and-keys.html#keys) is added to each UI component in the returned array.

## Step 6: Translate the loyalty points message with plural values

In this step, you'll learn how to translate the `loyaltyPoints` message, which supports pluralization.

You'll use the `translate` function to pass in the `count` of how many points are available. You'll use `formattedPoints` to render the points in the current locale.

> Note:
> When working with translation keys with pluralization, you must provide the `count` property. This allows the `translate` function to determine which pluralization to use, according to [Intl Pluralization Rules](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/PluralRules/select).

The checkout UI extension should now render localized checkout content for `en` and `fr`:

<figure class="figure"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/shopifycloud/shopify_dev/assets/apps/checkout/checkout-localization@2x-58535745402f69786749f6d57f3d0f485e6255e7c2048709cb79cf1a6e8e3247.png" class="lazyload" alt="The checkout UI extension displaying a summary of loyalty points and currency balance, in English and French" width="1800" height="500"></figure>

To test the extension, [preview the language](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/markets/languages/manage-languages) from your development store admin.

## Step 7: Deploy the UI extension

When you're ready to release your changes to users, you can create and release an [app version](/docs/apps/launch/deployment/app-versions). An app version is a snapshot of your app configuration and all extensions.

 You can have up to 50 checkout UI extensions in an app version.



1. Navigate to your app directory.
2. Run the following command.

    Optionally, you can provide a name or message for the version using the `--version` and `--message` flags.

    <p>
    <div class="react-code-block" data-preset="terminal">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload ThemeMode-dim">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-bar "></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-placeholder-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>

    </div>
    </div>


    <script type="text/plain" data-language="bash">
    RAW_MD_CONTENTshopify app deploy 
    END_RAW_MD_CONTENT</script>

    </div>
    </p>


Releasing an app version replaces the current active version that's served to stores that have your app installed. It might take several minutes for app users to be upgraded to the new version.



> Tip:
> If you want to create a version, but avoid releasing it to users, then run the `deploy` command with a `--no-release` flag.
>
> You can release the unreleased app version using Shopify CLI's [`release`](/docs/api/shopify-cli/app/app-release) command, or through the Partner Dashboard.



## Troubleshooting

This section describes how to solve some potential errors when you run `dev` for an app that contains a checkout UI extension.

### Property token error

If you receive the error `ShopifyCLI:AdminAPI requires the property token to be set`, then you'll need to use the [`--checkout-cart-url` flag](/docs/api/shopify-cli/app/app-dev#flags) to direct Shopify CLI to open a checkout session for you.

  <p>
  <div class="react-code-block" data-preset="terminal">

  <div class="react-code-block-preload-bar "></div>
  <div class="react-code-block-preload-placeholder-container">
  <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
  <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
  <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
  </div>

  </div>
  </div>


  <script type="text/plain" data-language="bash">
  RAW_MD_CONTENTshopify app dev --checkout-cart-url cart/{product_variant_id}:{quantity}
  END_RAW_MD_CONTENT</script>

  </div>
  </p>


### Missing checkout link

If you don't receive the test checkout URL when you run `dev`, then verify the following:

- You have a development store populated with products.

- You're logged in to the correct Partners organization and development store. To verify, check your app info using the following command:

    <p>
    <div class="react-code-block" data-preset="terminal">

Otherwise, you can manually create a checkout with the following steps:

1. From your development store's storefront, add some products to your cart.

1. From the cart, click **Checkout**.

1. From directory of the app that contains your extension, run `dev` to preview your app:

    <p>
    <div class="react-code-block" data-preset="terminal">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload ThemeMode-dim">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-bar "></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-placeholder-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-code-container">
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline-number"></div>
    <div class="react-code-block-preload-codeline"></div>
    </div>

    </div>
    </div>


    <script type="text/plain" data-language="bash">
    RAW_MD_CONTENTshopify app dev 
    END_RAW_MD_CONTENT</script>

    </div>
    </p>


1. On the checkout page for your store, change the URL by appending the `?dev=https://{tunnel_url}/extensions` query string and reload the page. The `tunnel_url` parameter allows your app to be accessed using a unique HTTPS URL.

    You should now see a rendered order note that corresponds to the code in your project template.
