The cashier’s screen
Every user picks their own interface language. Buttons, menus and messages change; the data doesn’t.
Multilingual POS receipts, in the words your customers use.
“Plátanos”, “香蕉”, “Chuối”, “바나나”, “موز”, “کیلا”. Product names in any script, next to English, on the screen and on the paper. Pick a language to see the receipt change.

خریداری کا شکریہ!
Three layers of language, set separately.
Product names
Typed or imported in any script. Use two names in one field so everyone can read them.
The receipt
Store name, address and the thank-you line in your language through the receipt layout.
Will my printer print it?
The honest answer: it depends on the printer’s fonts. Here is how it usually goes, and we test yours before you commit.
| Script | Screen | Typical US thermal printer | Workaround |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spanish, Vietnamese (Latin with accents) | Yes | Usually yes | Pick a printer code page with accents |
| Chinese, Korean | Yes | Often no on US models | CJK-capable printer, or print as image from the browser |
| Arabic, Urdu | Yes | Often no on US models | Arabic-capable printer, or print as image |
A naming habit that works.
- Customer’s language first, English second. “豆腐 Tofu firm 14 oz”. The customer finds it; the English-reading cashier can still ring it.
- Size at the end, always the same way. “oz”, “lb”, “ct”. It keeps shelf labels and reports tidy.
- Keep brand names as printed. Don’t translate brand names; translate the product type.
- Short enough for the receipt. Thermal receipts fit about 40–48 characters per line on 80 mm paper.
Language questions, answered.
8 questions on the shelf
Can a receipt print two languages?
Yes, the simple way: store each product name in both languages, for example “Plátanos / Bananas”, and both print on every receipt. Store name, footer message and labels can be in your language through the receipt layout.
Which interface languages are built in?
English, Spanish and Arabic are ready out of the box, along with Hindi, French, German, Dutch and Albanian. Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Urdu are set up as custom translations during onboarding. See language support.
Can each cashier use a different language?
Yes. Language is a per-user setting, so the owner can work in English while a cashier on the next register works in Spanish or Vietnamese.
Will my receipt printer print Chinese, Korean or Arabic?
It depends on the printer. Many 80 mm thermal printers sold in Asia or the Middle East include CJK or Arabic fonts; many US models print Latin only. Printing from the browser as an image can work around missing fonts. Bring your printer model to the demo and we test it.
Do Arabic and Urdu receipts print right to left?
Arabic and Urdu text is stored and shown right to left. On paper the result depends on the printer and print method, so test a receipt before you go live.
Can customers search my online store in their language?
Your online store shows the product names you entered, so customers can search for “tofu” or “두부” if both are in the name.
Does language change the price or tax?
No. Language is only how text is shown. Prices, taxes and reports stay the same whatever language a cashier uses.
Can you fix a translation that sounds wrong?
Yes. Translations are editable. Tell us the screen and the wording your staff use, and we update the custom translation for your store.
No question matches that. Try a shorter word.
