Switch languages and keep terminology consistent

Interface language, foreign product names and print language affect different content. Switching to English does not translate stored product names, warehouses or remarks automatically.

Applies to：POS / Back Office / Enhanced Edition

Steps

Use the language selector on the sign-in screen, choose English or Simplified Chinese, and sign in to check the menus.
Maintain both the local and foreign product names with consistent units, variants and barcodes. Do not create duplicate stock records merely to represent two languages.
For store-specific terms, use System → Custom Translation, find a phrase, edit the intended language and save. Agree on a glossary before changing common terms.
Check receipt and label language, fonts and layouts separately. Preview examples containing Chinese, English and long product names before testing physical output.

Check the result

Owners and local staff can identify the same product and transaction by code while using their preferred interface language.

Notes and troubleshooting

Chinese product names or units in English screenshots are stored demo data, not evidence that the interface failed to switch.
