The available languages​

EnglishPersianArabic
GermanSpanishTurkish
RussianHindiKorean
GeorgianItalian

The panel lists each one in its own script, such as Deutsch or 한국어. At least one must stay enabled.

Italian is listed but not offered on the storefront

You can tick Italian, but the storefront does not offer it: it is not added to the language switcher, and no Italian slot appears in Translations sections. Chosen as the default language, the storefront opens in your first enabled language instead.

Your default language cannot be switched off

The language marked Default stays ticked and cannot be unticked. To switch it off, first choose another default language on Defaults & Detection, then come back here.

What enabling a language does​

Two things at once:

  1. Visitors can switch the storefront into it.
  2. Every screen in the panel with a Translations section gains a slot for it.
Enabling a language does not translate your content

The platform's own wording is translated for you. Yours is not. Until you write it, your store information, custom pages, menu titles and popular route and destination cards show in another language: your platform's default language, or failing that English, or whichever language you did write. Your FAQs show in English, or failing that another language you wrote. Each tour is written in one display language and is not listed in the others.

Content Pages and the free consultation card fall back to built-in default text. Store information, custom pages, menu titles, FAQs and popular route and destination cards fall back to another language you wrote.

Content Pages shows a X of Y languages filled counter, and Mobile App Settings and Free Consultation show X of Y languages configured — the fastest way to find the gaps.

Right-to-left languages​

Persian and Arabic read right to left, and both the panel and the storefront flip automatically. Anything where you chose a side — such as which side a home page block's image sits on — flips with them: before the text means left on a left-to-right page and right on a right-to-left one.

A sensible approach​

Enable one language at a time and finish it

A half-translated storefront in front of real customers is worse than one fewer language. Enable, write everything, then move on.

What customers see​

A language switcher offering your enabled languages. The language the storefront opens in, and whether it follows each visitor's location, is set on Defaults & Detection. The platform's own interface appears translated; your content appears in whichever languages you wrote it.

Questions​

Can I disable my last language? No. At least one must stay enabled.

Why can't I untick one language? It is your default language. Change the default on Defaults & Detection first.

What happens to content in a language I disable? It is no longer shown, and a link to a page in that language opens the same page in your default language. Re-enabling brings it back.

Can I add a language not on the list? No.

Does the panel change language too? The panel has no language menu of its own. It opens in the language of the address you open it at, and only the languages you enable here are available, in the panel as on the storefront.

Why does one page show in English on my Arabic site? That page has no Arabic translation, so it falls back to another language you wrote.
