# Markets and languages

Chapter 14 of the Rep 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.
* **Languages**: Rep 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 › Themes**, open the theme's **…** menu and choose **Edit default theme content** to change fixed words, such as "Your bag is empty", "Not in this colour" or "Between sizes? Size up for comfort." (that last one is also a theme setting).
* **Free shipping** messages show only to shoppers paying in your store's currency, because the amount can't be converted reliably.
* **Set discount** estimates are worked out in the shopper's currency from the converted prices.
* **Don't translate the words the filters and links use.** The activity tiles, pills and chips link with the words you typed, so if you translate `custom.activities` or `custom.support_level`, translate the tile names, the **Activity list** and the **Support levels** the same way. Pictograms are chosen from the English names (chapter 7); a translated name gets the dot, unless you pick the tile's **Pictogram** yourself.
* **Sizes and colours**: the fit finder, Complete the set and the size chart match size and colour names exactly, so translate a size or colour name (if at all) the same way in every product and in your size charts. XS to XL usually need no translation.
* **The fit finder** works in centimetres and kilograms or feet, inches and pounds in every language. Its words, such as "How do you like it to fit?", are theme content you can translate.
* **Right-to-left languages** such as Arabic and Hebrew mirror the layout, including the back-to-top button's side. Shop the look'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.
