# Languages and translations

> Localize, personalize and translate terms

Languages in Shopify control two things:

* The **storefront language** your customers see (English, Italian, Arabic, etc.)
* The **wording** used for buttons, labels, and messages across your store

Supercycle has its own language settings for app blocks and features.

## Add a new language

You can add languages separately in Shopify and Supercycle.

* Adding a language in **Shopify** makes it available for your storefront and theme content.
* Adding a language in **Supercycle** makes it available for Supercycle app blocks and methods.

For a customer to see a second language in Supercycle blocks, that language must be active in **both Shopify and Supercycle**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add language in Shopify">
    1. In your Shopify admin, go to [**Settings > Languages**](https://admin.shopify.com/settings/languages).
    2. Select **Add language**, then choose the language you want.
    3. Follow [Shopify’s guide to managing languages](https://help.shopify.com/manual/markets/languages) to publish it to your storefront.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add language in Supercycle">
    1. In your Shopify admin, go to **Supercycle > Settings > Languages**.
    2. Add the language you want to use in Supercycle.

    </Frame>

    3. Save your changes.

    If this language is also active in Shopify, customers will see Supercycle content in that language when browsing the translated storefront.

## Multiple languages by market

When you add a new language in Shopify, you can assign it to a specific **market** (store or country).

* If your store already has more than one published language, Shopify automatically displays a **language selector** in the storefront header.
* Customers can switch between languages from this dropdown.
* Supercycle respects this selection and shows its content in the chosen language if it’s been added to Supercycle.

## Edit wording

Both Shopify and Supercycle allow you to edit wording:

* In **Shopify**, wording changes apply to your storefront theme and general site content.
* In **Supercycle**, wording changes apply to Supercycle app blocks and features.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Edit wording in Supercycle">
    1. In your Shopify admin, go to [**Supercycle > Settings > Languages**](https://admin.shopify.com/apps/supercycle/settings/languages).
    2. Select **Edit content** next to the language you want to update.  <Frame type="glass"> <img src="https://mintcdn.com/supercycle/Omgmq0rsgqX1BZKa/images/screenshots/supercycle-admin/edit-wording.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Omgmq0rsgqX1BZKa&q=85&s=bb74a70a2eb1402ab0ad9f1ee4bca5d4" width="1552" height="826" data-path="images/screenshots/supercycle-admin/edit-wording.png" /> </Frame>
