  • Default language. This is the main language for your shop. This setting will influence your back-office's language (including the main language for your products), as well as the front-office. Note that the front-office's language might adapt to the setting of the customer's browser.
  • Default country. The location of your business. If you have headquarters in many countries, use your main or original country.
  • Default currency. The currency in which your product's prices are first set. Currencies are added by importing and activating a country's currency. Note that if you change currency after having already set a few product prices, you will have to manually update all the existing prices. Make sure to set that value once and for all.
  • Time zone. You own time zone. This is useful for daily discount for instance: you know exactly when it starts and ends.

Localization

Note

Since version 1.6.0.10, the "Default language" and "Default country" settings each have an additional setting:

  • For "Default language": Set language from browser. PrestaShop will set the store's language depending on the language of the visitor's browser's locale code (for instance: fr_CA gives French)
  • For "Default country": Set default country from browser language. PrestaShop will set the store's country depending on the territory of the visitor's browser's locale code (for instance, fr_CA gives Canada).

Local units

These values can be set when you import the localization package for a country, but you can edit manually them afterwards. For instance, if you would rather have centiliters instead of liters for the volume unit, change the default "L" to "cL".
