# Languages and right-to-left

> Kelvin's built-in languages, how to add others, and how the store mirrors for right-to-left languages.

**Built-in languages.** Kelvin's storefront text comes in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish: buttons, labels, the cart, the PC Builder's checks and messages, the compare table, reviews and the monitor switch's name for screen readers. Text you type in the theme editor, such as headings and button labels, is yours to translate.

**1. Add a language.** In **Settings → Languages**, add the language and publish it. Shoppers can then switch with the language selector in the footer and in the phone menu.

**2. Translate your content.** Use Shopify's Translate & Adapt app, or another translation app, to translate products, collections, metafields, pages and the text in your sections. For a language Kelvin does not include, the app also translates the theme's own storefront text.

**3. Right-to-left.** For Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu and other right-to-left languages, Kelvin turns the whole store to read from right to left:

* the layout mirrors, so drawers slide in from the other side;
* arrows, scroll rows and the vertical films strip run the other way;
* spec rows, prices and numbers keep their own reading order.

The home page mirrored for a right-to-left language. It is shown with English text, so a few short phrases with numbers read out of order; in Arabic or Hebrew they read naturally.

**Markets and currencies.** Prices follow the currency of the shopper's market, set in **Settings → Markets**. The country or region selector in the footer appears when you sell in more than one market.

> The gift message is saved on the order under the fixed English name Gift message, whatever the shopper's language, so your orders stay consistent.
