A language in Monokaido is not just a translation — it is a market. Every target language carries its own currency and its own pricing, so adding one opens another market rather than merely another language version.

Languages and markets: translation statistics, the source language, and the target language list
Fig. 1 — Languages and markets. Translation status on top, the source language and the targets below.

Controls on this screen

  1. Add language — A new target language, with its currency.
  2. Target languages — How many languages besides the source you have.
  3. Translated products — Translated against total. This is the real state of the work.
  4. Translated categories — The same for categories.
  5. Stale translations — Translations whose original has changed since. A non-zero figure means the shop is showing old text.
  6. Source language — The language the products are written in. Everything else is translated from it.
  7. Target languages — Each is a market of its own, with its own currency.
  8. Order — Dragging changes the order languages are offered in.
  9. Star — Marks a language as the source.
