How to Customize Widget Language and Labels

Edit every label, error message, and instruction your customers see — all in one place, organized by different widgets.

The Text & Language settings page lets you customize every piece of text the Bird widget shows on your storefront. The page is organized into collapsible sections so you can focus on one area at a time, and a search bar lets you jump straight to any field by name or value.

Access Text & Language Settings

1. Navigate to Bird App Settings → Text & Languages

1. Click Edit next to the language you want to customize

Page Layout

The page opens with all sections collapsed. Each section shows its title and a short description — click Show to expand it and reveal the fields inside, and Hide to collapse it again when you are done.

A search bar sits above the section list. Type any word — a field name, a hint, or part of a saved translation value — and matching fields appear instantly with their sections auto-expanded. Sections with no matches hide entirely. Clear the search to return to the collapsed overview.
