Languages and currencies
Selling across borders means two separate decisions: which languages your storefront speaks, and which currencies you put in front of visitors.
Languages
Platform Languages is where you choose the languages your storefront offers. At least one must stay enabled.
Available languages:
| English | Persian | Arabic |
| German | Spanish | Turkish |
| Russian | Hindi | Korean |
| Georgian | Italian |
The panel lists each one in its own script, such as Deutsch or 한국어. Italian can be ticked, but the storefront does not offer it.
Enabling a language does two things at once:
- Visitors can switch your storefront into it.
- Every screen in the panel that has a Translations section gains a slot for it.
The platform's own wording is translated for you. Your wording is not. Enable a language and, until you write them, your store information, custom pages, menu titles, FAQs and popular cards show in another language, and your tours stay in the one display language each was written in.
Which language and currency a visitor gets
Defaults & Detection sets a default language and a default currency, and two switches that let the storefront follow each visitor's location instead. For each of the two, the storefront uses the first of these that applies:
- The visitor's own earlier choice, if you still offer it
- Their location, if detection is on and you offer what it finds
- Your default
Your defaults must always be among what you offer, so enable a language or currency before making it the default, and choose another default before switching the current one off.
What has to be translated by you
| Content | Screen | If you leave a language empty |
|---|---|---|
| Store headline, description, support text, address, copyright, company name | Seller Information | Shown in your platform's default language, else English, else whichever language you wrote |
| Page titles, content, SEO fields | Custom Pages | The page is shown in another language, as for store information. The slug is shared |
| Menu titles | Menus | The title is shown in another language, as for store information |
| Questions and answers | FAQs | Shown in English, else whichever language you wrote |
| Refund policy, terms, privacy | Content Pages | The storefront falls back to a built-in default |
| Home page headings and body copy | Home pages | The built-in heading is used, translated |
| Card titles on popular routes and destinations | Popular Flight Routes · Popular Hotel Destinations · Popular Activity Destinations | Shown in another language, as for store information |
| Tour details | Tours | Each tour is written in one display language, and tour results in other languages do not list it |
| App title and subtitle | Mobile App Settings | Written per language |
| Free consultation card title | Free Consultation | The built-in title is used, translated |
Content Pages shows a X of Y languages filled counter, and Mobile App Settings and Free Consultation show X of Y languages configured. They are the fastest way to find gaps.
Content Pages — refund policy, terms of service, privacy policy — fall back to built-in default text when you leave a language empty. Clearing a language removes your saved version and returns it to that default. Store information, custom pages, menu titles, FAQs and popular cards fall back to another language you wrote. That second kind of fallback is not a translation: the visitor reads your text in a language they did not choose.
Right-to-left languages
Persian and Arabic read right to left. The panel and the storefront both flip layout automatically when one of them is selected — including anything where you chose a side, such as which side a home-page block's image sits on. Before the text means left on a left-to-right page and right on a right-to-left one.
Currencies
Platform Currencies is where you choose which currencies visitors can see prices in. At least one must stay enabled, and your default currency cannot be switched off.
Suggested Currencies lets you highlight up to 8 currencies. Drag to reorder; the order is their display priority.
These are the currencies you are putting forward — the ones a visitor sees first in the currency switcher. Put the currencies your actual customers hold at the top. A suggested currency you did not enable is not shown.
Currency also appears in several other places, where it means something more specific:
| Where | What it means |
|---|---|
| Club Settings | The currency your coupon catalogue is priced in |
| Coupon Catalogue | The currency of a catalogue coupon's amounts |
| A tour schedule plan | The currency that departure is priced in |
| Payment Links | The currency the payer is charged in |
| Wallet and withdrawals | Always USD |
Balances, transfers and withdrawals are denominated in USD regardless of which currencies your storefront displays.
A sensible order of work
Enabling a language you cannot write leaves a half-translated storefront in front of real customers. Enable one at a time and finish it.
