Arabic and English

Switch your desk language#

Your desk language is a personal setting. Each team member picks their own.

1. Click your avatar at the bottom of your desk, then click your name at the top of the menu to open your profile.
2. On the General tab, find Preferred language.
3. Under Language, pick English or العربية.
4. Click Save.

Menus, buttons, settings and messages switch to the language you chose, and the whole desk mirrors to read right to left in Arabic. If you never chose a language, Kartlo uses your browser's language when it is Arabic or English.

Choose your storefront language#

1. Open Online Store from your desk.
2. In the Storefront card, find Storefront language.
3. Pick English or Arabic (العربية). The change saves straight away.

The language covers the text Kartlo writes: buttons such as Add to cart, the cart, checkout, discount and account messages, and the password page. Text you write yourself, such as product names, descriptions, pages and section headings, shows exactly as you typed it, so write it in the language you choose.

Prices and numbers#

Prices are shown in your store currency with Western digits in both languages, for example AED 1,234,567.89. Dates and numbers on an Arabic desk also use Western digits, as is usual for business in the United Arab Emirates.

Your store currency is set in Settings › Stores. Shoppers see and pay prices in that currency; Kartlo does not convert prices into other currencies. See Markets and languages.

Arabic in the Kartlo phone app#

The Kartlo phone app is also available in Arabic and English, and reads right to left in Arabic. See The Kartlo phone app.
