Languages and markets
Setup turns on every language your Shopify store publishes before it imports anything, with your primary Shopify language as the default. Open Languages and markets on the Get started page to check that choice.
Why it matters
Section titled “Why it matters”Each language has its own content. When Rubikc creates cubes from your catalogue, it does that for the languages turned on at the time — so a language you add afterwards will not have content waiting for it.
You can add languages later, and people do. A new language has to be published in Shopify first, because that is where Rubikc gets the list.
Your default language
Section titled “Your default language”Rubikc starts with your primary published Shopify locale as the default. Choose a different default if needed. It is what a visitor gets when Rubikc has nothing better to offer them, and it is the one your content is built around.
The languages you support
Section titled “The languages you support”The list starts with Shopify’s published languages enabled. Turn off any language you do not want to offer in your Space. Enabling a language tells Rubikc that content should exist for it — it does not translate anything by itself, and it does not publish anything.
Rubikc detects languages from Shopify shop locales and from market web presences, so multi-market stores may see more languages here than appear in Shopify’s shop-level locale list alone.
If you are not sure whether you will need a language Shopify already offers, leave it on. Turning one off later is simple; adding one means publishing it in Shopify first.
Below the languages, Rubikc lists your active Shopify markets, with their countries and currency, for reference. Markets are managed in Shopify.
Choose Save languages when you are done. The item on Get started then ticks itself off.
What happens next
Section titled “What happens next”Each language has its own version of a cube, which you arrange and whose blocks you publish — see Working in another language.
Product names, options and prices follow the language and country a shopper is in. See How selling works.
Later, Settings › Localization lets you change the default and choose which languages visitors can switch to.
