ReelPik allows you to offer a localized shopping experience by translating widget text into multiple languages. This guide will show you how to set a default language, enable auto-detection, and manually refine your translations.

### 1. Set a default language

If your store targets a specific country or you want all customers to see one specific language, you can set a global default.

###### How to set it:

* Navigate to **Settings** in the ReelPik app.

* Go to **General** > **Language Settings**.

* Under **Default Language**, choose your preferred language from the dropdown menu.

* Click **Save**.

*Note: To test this feature, go to your storefront and refresh the page twice to ensure the cache updates and the new language is displayed.*

### 2. Auto-detect website language

If your Shopify store supports multiple languages and you sell worldwide, this feature ensures that ReelPik matches the language your customer is currently using on your site.

*Example: If a customer from France views your site in French, the ReelPik widget text will automatically display in French.*

This feature translates app-specific text (like "Add to Cart" buttons or "You may also like" headers). It does not translate product-specific data like descriptions or variants unless that data is already translated within your Shopify admin.

###### How to set it:

* Navigate to **Settings** in the ReelPik app.

* Go to **General** > **Language Settings**.

* Select option: **Auto-detect website language**

🎁 Limited Time: Auto-detect website language for FREE!

Currently, the auto-detect website language feature is **available for free to all ReelPik users**. To unlock this advanced feature, simply **contact our support team** via live chat or email.

### 3. Manual translation (Edit text manually)

If the automatic translation doesn't perfectly match your brand's voice, you can manually edit any text string.

###### How to edit:

* Go to the **Settings** > **Translation** section.
