# Markets and languages

Chapter 15 of the Hooray user guide.

* **Countries and currencies**: set up markets in admin under **Settings › Markets**. With more than one, the footer and the phone menu show a country/currency selector. Prices convert through Shopify. If you sell in more than one currency, check a party box's total in each before you launch.
* **Languages**: Hooray ships in English. Add languages under **Settings › Languages** and translate with Shopify's free **Translate & Adapt** app, which covers the theme's words, your section text, your settings and your metafields. With more than one language published, a language selector appears beside the country selector.
* **Changing the theme's own words**: in **Online Store**, open the theme's menu and choose **Edit default theme content** to change fixed words, such as "Your party's looking quiet".
* **Free shipping** messages show only to shoppers paying in your store's currency, because the amount can't be converted reliably.
* **Delivery fees** in the zones are your text, shown as written in every currency, so write the currency you charge in ("A$25"), or keep zones to the market you deliver in.
* **The event date calendar** follows your **Store time zone**, not the shopper's. Its weekday headings are theme words you can translate, and its month names and the dates in its messages ("Fri 13 Nov") follow the shopper's language. The saved `Event date` stays in English ("Fri 13 Nov 2026"), so your orders read the same, and **Closed days and dates** is typed in English.
* **Cart attributes keep their English names** in every language (`Event date`, `Fulfilment`, `Delivery postcode`, `Delivery zone`, `Time slot`), and `Fulfilment` is always "Pickup" or "Delivery", so your orders read the same whatever language the shopper used.
* **Line item properties follow the shopper's language**: `Colours` and `Style` (garlands) and `Party box` are theme words, so if you translate them, a shopper in another language saves the translated names. The colour names themselves are your block settings, translated with your other content.
* **Occasion names**: the tiles and chips filter by the exact value. If you translate `custom.occasions`, translate each tile's **Name** the same way.
* **Number searches**: without a number collection, the Turning picker searches for the number plus the theme word "balloon". Translate that word in **Edit default theme content** along with your product titles.
* **Right-to-left languages** such as Arabic and Hebrew mirror the layout, including the back-to-top button's side. Shop the table's hotspots stay where you put them on the photo, because the photo isn't mirrored.
* **Countdowns** are absolute moments: every shopper counts down to the same instant.
