# 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
See how to set up Mega menu:

[Menu](/zest-theme/pages-global-sections/menu.md)
{% endhint %}

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

{% hint style="info" %}
The following steps are applied to [Shopify Translate & Adapt app](https://apps.shopify.com/translate-and-adapt).&#x20;

**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**
  {% endhint %}

Here’s how to keep your mega menu working across languages:

{% hint style="success" %}
Steps:

1. Go to your **Shopify Admin > Translate & Adapt**.
2. Click on the language you're translating.
3. Navigate to: **Section Groups > Header group**
4. **DO NOT translate** the fields related to Mega menu block.
   {% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/9R5uZwqcORTz0yHvnc0x" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
These fields are the theme settings, leaving translations for these fields blank won't have any affect to the overall translation of the site.
{% endhint %}
