What You Can Customize


The language settings allow you to modify:


  • Calendar and time labels (date picker text, time selection fields)
  • Delivery method names (local delivery, store pickup, shipping)
  • Customer instructions (above/below widget, delivery-specific guidance)
  • Error messages (validation errors, availability messages)
