## 1. What is language?

Multi-language is a very crucial thing for an international printing store. English is the default language of Lumise. But, you can add your preferred languages in the Lumise language settings. Click [HERE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_z6j-ehSl0\&t=58s) to **watch the video** about how to set up a language in Lumise.
