In this tutorial, I'm going to be discussing the localization options, which allow you to change the language of your website, as well as the way numbers and dates are displayed
00:00:10

So if you see here on my preview, I have a contact form, and I have a basic product with a price, and this form is automatically generated by the platform, as well as these buttons
00:00:25

So if I ever wanted to change the language of these, all I would have to do is simply go into options, end your site, and then go to localization
00:00:34

Once you go there, it'll let you change the language
00:00:38

So the default is English
00:00:40

If I wanted to switch it to Italian, you can simply select that and save, and you'll see all the fields have now switched to Italian
00:00:48

The buttons have switched
00:00:50

These fields have switched
00:00:52

The only thing that hasn't switched is this product one, and that is because that is actually what I typed for that particular widget
00:01:00

So anything you type manually will not be translated
00:01:04

However, anything that is generated by the system automatically will be translated, such as this quantities box and the buttons here
00:01:12

But for this product one, that was actually part of the product widget that I typed that, so that's going to remain
00:01:18

However, you can also change how the numbers look
00:01:21

So the standard layout for numbers is, you know, with commas and decimal points at the end, which represent a sense
00:01:28

So if you want to change that, you can do the number format right here, and you can put a, you know, a period instead of the comma and swap them
00:01:36

If you want, so this has a period where the comma should be in a comma where the period should be, so that swaps that or you can put a space where the comma is and then
00:01:44

keep the period
00:01:46

So that inserts a space automatically
00:01:49

And it does all this throughout the site consistently, and just keep in mind that it will only change things that are generated by the site
00:01:58

So the form contact and all that is automatically generated, but for the product, I actually put the title as product one in English, so that's going to remain in English because that's what I typed
00:02:11

I would have to tie a change that manually in order to change that language
00:02:15

However, as far as anything generated within a system, it can easily be changed by going to options and localization
