All We are Underground themes include multi-language options which allow your customers to shop in their preferred language.

Themes may be translated to any other language. By default our most recent themes are pre-configured in the following languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.

To enable the language selector button in your theme you'll want to go to your Header and/or Footer (theme dependent) and select “Enable language selector”.
