Your English site (/en), the one you show to New York and international fans, sells "Maillot Bénin Noir| Édition Limitée", "Pantalon de Jogging Mont-Valérien" and "Veste de Survêtement Rayée Zippée Bleue". 69 of 144 product names and 62 descriptions are the French text, including fabric, care and measuring instructions; collections are called "Nos Bas" and "Vestes", the FAQ is entirely in French and the About page is titled "À PROPOS DE NOUS". Google indexes these pages as English, so English searches for a Benin jersey or striped track jacket find French titles.

Why it works
Translate the 69 product names and 62 descriptions in Shopify's Translate & Adapt app (machine draft, then a human check), starting with jerseys, the 12 Kings and limited editions. Then translate collection names, the FAQ, About, size guide and homepage buttons ("Acheter maintenant" becomes "Shop now"). Add a rule that no product goes live without its English text.
Shoppers buy what they understand, especially sizes, fabric and returns. A fully English store should lift conversion from US, UK and other international visitors, and the translated titles let English search and AI shopping assistants find the jerseys.

Risks and how to handle them
Machine translation sounds flat
Keep brand words (Daömey League, 12 Kings) and have a native speaker review.
Product names change in links
Keep the existing URLs (handles) so links and ads still work.
