Locale

The fields on the Locale screen control the languages that you and your customers see, and the currency used in your store.

Merchant Language
This field sets the language and currency punctuation that you will see in ShopSite as you are working with products and pages, viewing reports, and working with orders. The language that you choose here does not affect what customers see in your store. This setting does not change the language that you see in the Commerce Center, such as when viewing orders and reports. To set the language in the Commerce Center, go to the Commerce Center and click the Account Info button. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the Change Contact Information button. Answer the challenge question, and then, on the next screen, choose a new language from the Preferred Language drop-down list. Click the Save Changes button. you will see the new language the next time you enter the Commerce Center.
Customer Language
This field sets the language and currency punctuation that customers will see in your store. This setting only affects the language that your customers see while browsing your store pages. You must also set the language for the shopping cart and order form by going to the Commerce Center, selecting Store Setup, and then changing the language setting on the Store Currency and Locale screen.

Note that changing the customer language resets all of the fields in all of the store text screens. If you have customized any of those fields, your changes will be overwritten.

Currency (primary)
Select the primary currency for use in your store. This field controls the currency symbol and its placement in prices.
Note:

The currency that youselect here only defines what customers see on your store pages; it does not control what is shown on the order form. You must go to the Commerce Setup section of the Commerce Center to set the currency symbol for the order form. You cannot change the currency for a store after an order has been placed with the store.

Currency (alternate)
If you want to display prices in your store in two currencies, select a second currency here. Selecting a currency in this field activates the two-currency feature. Note that prices and totals on the order form are only calculated and shown in the first currency.
Exchange Rate
Enter the exchange rate to convert product prices in the primary currency to prices in the alternate currency. When you create or modify a product, you enter the price in the primary currency only. ShopSite multiplies that price by the exchange rate that you set here to determine the price in the alternate currency.
