Prestashop is multi language, multi-currency and allows you to setup your online web store regardless from which country you are operating. Country, currencies, language and time zone are better known as localization. In a previous Prestashop tutorial, we have described how to manage and add new languages to your retail website. In this article, let see here and how you can configure them from the Prestashop 1.6 administration backend.

Localization > Localization
