POS supports multiple languages in the same country, which benefits merchants in different locales across the globe.
The POS can localize as part of its main platform features. This means you can run multiple languages in the same country. This can be helpful for merchants based in different locales across the globe, allowing languages to be switched within one account.
Note Multilanguage support is only available to merchants configured for it during their
initial setup, a process managed by Salesforce. For more information, contact Salesforce
Customer Support.
