How language detection works
Katura uses locale-based URL routing. When a customer visits your store:
- The middleware checks the URL for a locale prefix (e.g.,
/fr/products) - If no locale is specified, it detects the browser's preferred language
- The storefront and admin render in the detected language
Changing admin language
Team members can set their preferred admin language in Settings → Profile. The entire admin interface — labels, statuses, actions, navigation — displays in the chosen language.
Tip
Having your admin in your team's native language reduces errors and speeds up order processing, especially for status labels and customer communication.
Right-to-left (RTL) support
Arabic and Hebrew are fully supported with right-to-left text rendering. The layout automatically adjusts navigation, forms, and tables for RTL languages.
