Hey @Pwork_harlalka :waving_hand: - it’s definitely possible to build functionality to dynamically provide content on the frontend based on the user’s locale for shop’s on the basic plan.

The best place to start would be here in our documentation if you’re looking to build an integration using the API or here if you were looking into creating localizations within theme code directly

For request.locale specifically though, it should be useable on the Basic Plan if you’re referring to the Liquid Object here.

The main feature that is limited to Plus users only is automatic Geolocation though, so for shops not on Plus, you would have to offer a manual language selector for users.

Hope this helps - let me know if I can clarify anything on our end here.

Hello there!

Just to add to Alans message, working with regions and locale-aware content, it’s most often recommended to use Shopify Markets. You’ll have a locale-aware customizer being able to setup different content for each Market (group of countries).

Also you can use localization.market or localization.language in liquid to differentiate code.
