# Markets and languages

Chapter 14 of the Wick user guide.

* **Countries and currencies**: set up markets in admin under **Settings › Markets**. With more than one, the footer (and the menu drawer on phones) shows a country/currency selector. Prices convert through Shopify, and the gift box summary formats its totals in the shopper's currency, the same way as every other price.
* **Languages**: Wick 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 and your settings. With more than one language published, a language selector appears beside the country selector.
* **Scent families** are stored as you type them, so keep the eight family names in `custom.scent_family` the same in every language: the scent filter and the shop by scent links match them exactly. To show a family under another name, translate the tile's **Display name** rather than the stored value.
* **Gift box and gift note properties**: the property names "Gift box" and "Gift note" stay in English in orders, so your packing team sees the same words whatever the shopper's language.
* **Right-to-left languages** such as Arabic and Hebrew mirror the layout, including the back-to-top button's side.
* **Free shipping** messages show only to shoppers paying in your store's currency, because the threshold can't be converted reliably.
* **Countdowns** are absolute moments: every shopper counts down to the same instant, and the deadline is written in your store's time zone (or the offset you chose).
