Your website can have multiple versions (locales) in different languages.
By having multiple languages applied, you can connect a specific content type to a specific locale. Meaning that certain content can be targeted at a specific website locale dedicated to a certain country or language users.
Email templates (like shop email templates) can be translated to added languages, which allows you to customize your notification system and bring closer your services to your customers.
Here you can learn how to manage language settings and how to add new languages.
