Summary
Language Settings allow you to control the language used in the Keystone Loyalty Rewards app. Choose Automatic mode to match your Shopify language or Manual mode to select from 20 supported languages. The language setting affects all app interface elements including navigation, labels, buttons, and messages, but doesn't change customer data or merchant-entered content. Changes take effect immediately and persist across sessions. Both team members on shared accounts and individual merchants can set their preferred language independently.
