How languages work in Storeep
Each market has one language. When a buyer visits your store and their country matches a market, the storefront renders in that market's language: interface labels, checkout text, policy pages, and any content you have written in that language. If a buyer's country does not match any market, they see the primary market's language.
The language setting also controls text direction. Languages such as Arabic are right-to-left (RTL); Storeep automatically applies the correct text direction to the storefront for those languages, so your layout, fonts, and text alignment all reflect the right direction without any extra configuration on your part.
Changing the language for a market
- Go to Settings → Markets.
- Click the market you want to edit.
- Click Language.
- Select the desired language from the Languages list (you can search by name).
- Click Save.
The current language is shown below the market name in the Language panel (for example: Current language • Arabic).
What the language setting does and does not change
What changes immediately:
- Interface labels, buttons, and system text on the storefront for buyers in that country.
- The text direction (left-to-right or right-to-left) applied to the storefront layout.
- The language used for automatically generated emails and notifications in that market.
What you must update manually:
- Product names, descriptions, and other product content: these are not translated automatically.
- Page content (home page, about us, and other sections built in the store editor): you must open each page and update the text yourself.
- Policy pages (privacy, terms, refund, and shipping): these are pre-written in the market's language when the market is first created, but if you change the language later you must update the policy content yourself.
Storeep displays a warning when you open the language settings: "Important note: When changing the language, you must manually modify the language of your products and pages." Until all content is updated, buyers may see a mix of the old and new languages.
Available languages
The language list shows all languages supported by Storeep. When you add a new market, its language is set automatically based on the country's locale. If the auto-detected language is not supported, English is used as the default.
What to check
- If the storefront is showing the wrong language for a country, check that a market exists for that country and that its language is set correctly.
- If a right-to-left layout is not appearing correctly after switching to Arabic, clear your browser cache. The text direction is set on the server side and is correct in the page source.
- After changing a language, always review your product pages and policy pages in the storefront to confirm all visible text has been updated.
