How can I set Latvian as the main language on my domain?

[Jekaterina_L]

Hello! My site has 3 languages (English, Latvian, Russian). Latvian and Russian translated with Translate & Adapt.
The main language of my market is Latvian.
Question:
How can I install the Latvian version of the site on the main domain bonati.lv (now it is in English). And put the English version on bonati.lv/en
Is it possible?

Hey @Jekaterina_L , to do this make Latvian the default language of your primary market Latvia. Note that this is not the same as changing your store default language in Settings > Languages - that should be avoided unless you need to.

Hi @richbrown_staff . Similar question here. In Settings - Languages English is default and then there is also Icelandic. I have primary market Iceland. English is currently default language for primary market so the Icelandic version now has URL ...myshopify.com/is/

If I change default language in primary market to Icelandic I get warning "Removing Icelandic from your primary market will break any ...myshopify.com/is URLs"

First of all, I am not removing language, just switching the default language from English to Icelandic for this market.

But I am wondering, due to this warning, if I save this change whether I will break something or lose translations I have already made?

Thanks

Hey @Sjoppuvesen this is aimed at if, for example, you had existing advertising pointing at myshopify.com/is/products/product-A - those links would break. But if that's not a risk for you you can safely change the primary market default language. Just avoid changing the store default language.
