Global expansion, localizing content, and selling in multiple currencies and languages
I've got two languages on my Shopify store: Danish and English. Denmark in my main market, and then I got a secondary market, which is international. I want the language for Danish visitors to be Danish and English for international visitors. However, when i go into markets and select international, and then try to pick english as my default language, the option is grey and unclickable. If i switch the default to English on the danish market, then English becomes the default in both markets.
Any ideas for why this is not working?

Hi @EmilOliver , this is because your International market has the same domains and languages configuration as your primary market. You'll see if you go to International > Languages and domains > Manage domains - that it'll have 'Use primary market configuration' selected. This means that International inherits the settings from the primary market. I.e. you can't have /en just for a non primary market. Either include English in your primary market, or use subfolders (or another domain / subdomain) on your international market. Hope that helps, Rich
