# Markets and languages

Chapter 14 of the Scruff 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, including the embroidery fee product's, convert through Shopify.
* **Languages**: Scruff 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 bag is empty" or "Only what fits".
* **Free shipping** messages show only to shoppers paying in your store's currency, because the amount can't be converted reliably.
* **Don't translate `custom.species`.** The theme recognises the words Dog and Cat (and Dogs, Cats); a translated "Chien" matches neither, so the product would show for no pet in that language. Leave the species values in English.
* **Sizes**: the fit, the size table and the Shop by size tiles match size names exactly, so translate a size name (if at all) the same way in the product option, in **Weight range per size** and in the size table. XS to XL usually need no translation.
* **Size tables**: if you translate the table's headings, keep `cm`, `in`, `kg`, `lb` or `weight` in them, because that's how the theme knows which columns to convert. Translate breed names freely, but keep each breed's size.
* **The pet profile** works in every language. Weights are in kg or lb, and the birthday banner's weekday ("Friday") follows the shopper's language.
* **Line item properties follow the shopper's language**: `Tag front`, `Tag back`, `Tag font`, `Embroidery` and `Thread` are theme words, so if you translate them, a shopper in another language saves the translated names. Thread names and style names are your block settings, translated with your other content.
* **Right-to-left languages** such as Arabic and Hebrew mirror the layout, including the back-to-top button's side. Shop the scene'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.
