2. Turn on the language using the toggle button.
The selected language is now visible to customers in your store.
Setting the Default Store Language
The default store language is the primary language used to define all core store content, including:
- Interfaces
- Menus
- Products
- Categories
- Branches
- Offers
- Ads
Example: Setting Arabic as the default language
- All store sections will be created and managed in Arabic.
- Your store is built primarily in Arabic, and additional languages are added afterward.
- When you add a new language, all store content is translated from Arabic into that language.
- Entering data (products, offers, categories, etc.) in Arabic becomes mandatory.
- Entering data in other added languages is optional.
- Choosing Arabic as the default language does not affect how other languages appear to customers.
To set the default language, select it from the list of added languages.
📝 Important note:
You cannot change the default language after content (such as products or categories) has already been translated into other languages, since the default language is used as the base reference.
