Localization

Default language

What a visitor gets when Rubikc has nothing better to offer them, and the language your content is built around. If they open a cube that has no live version in their language, they see this language’s version of that cube instead of an error.

Supported languages

Every language your storefront serves. Adding one tells Rubikc content should exist for it — it does not translate anything and does not publish anything.

With Shopify connected, the list comes from Shopify — your shop’s published languages and those of your active markets. To add a language, publish it in Shopify first, then choose Refresh languages and markets from Shopify to load it. The refresh also updates your markets and drops languages Shopify no longer publishes. It keeps your default language and your enabled languages. You can still choose the default here.

Use Space enabled languages to choose which of your languages visitors can switch to, without changing anything in Shopify.

An agent can change the default language, choose which languages visitors can switch to, and refresh languages and markets from Shopify. See What agents can do.

What a language means elsewhere

Each language has its own Version of every cube, which you arrange and save separately. Navigation can differ per language too.

Adding a language later does not backfill content. See Working in another language.
