### Overview

Fordeer Invoice can generate your billing documents in **15+ languages**. You can set one default language for all documents, or let the app generate each customer’s documents in their own language automatically.

---

### 1. Set the default language

1. In the app, go to **Settings → Languages**.

2. In **Default language**, choose the language you want your documents to use. The dropdown shows the full list of supported languages.

3. Click **Save**.

All PDF documents will be generated in this language, unless **Auto-detected customer language** is turned on.

### 2. Translate documents into each customer’s language

Turn on **Auto-detected customer language** to generate each customer’s documents in their own language.

The app uses the language saved on the customer’s profile in Shopify, the same language Shopify uses for their notification emails.

To check or change a customer’s language:

1. In Shopify admin, go to **Customers** and open the customer.

2. Under **Contact information**, find **Will receive notifications in…**

> **Good to know:**
>
> * Shopify updates a customer’s language based on the language they use at checkout. If a customer places a new order in a different language, all their documents, **including those for earlier orders**, will be generated in the new language.
>
> * If the customer’s language isn’t supported, documents are generated in your default language.

### 3. Want to change specific wording?

Use [Adjust translation](https://help.invoice.fordeer.app/hc/invoice/articles/1788929987-how-to-use-adjust-translation) to edit any text in any language, for example, changing “VAT” to “ABN”.
