# Messages & translations

> Edit the customer-facing limit messages and translate them into 13 languages.

Every limit has a **Message** tab where you edit the exact text customers
see when a rule isn't met — per message type, per language.

## Message fields

Depending on the limit's conditions, you'll see fields such as:

| Field                                  | Shown when                                    |
| -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Minimum Quantity Limit Message         | The cart is below the minimum quantity        |
| Maximum Quantity Limit Message         | The cart exceeds the maximum quantity         |
| Minimum / Maximum Value Limit Message  | The cart is outside the value bounds          |
| Minimum / Maximum Weight Limit Message | The cart is outside the weight bounds         |
| Break multiple limit message           | The quantity isn't a valid multiple           |
| Button Text / Contact Us Text          | The contact option is included in the message |

Each field supports **variables** like `{{minimum_product_quantity}}` and
`{{quantity_needed}}` that are replaced with live values on the
storefront — see the
[message variables reference](/order-limits/customization/message-variables)
for the full list. Click the copy button next to a variable in the app to
insert it.

### Default messages

Every limit starts with sensible defaults you can adapt:

| Message          | Default text                                                                                   |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Minimum quantity | You must select at least `{{minimum_product_quantity}}` products                               |
| Maximum quantity | You can only select a maximum of `{{maximum_product_quantity}}` products                       |
| Break multiple   | The quantity must be a multiple of `{{multiple}}`                                              |
| Minimum value    | You can only purchase a minimum of `{{minimum_total_product_value}}` `{{currency}}`            |
| Maximum value    | You are only allowed to purchase a maximum of `{{maximum_total_product_value}}` `{{currency}}` |

Collection limits use collection-specific wording ("…products in this
collection") and the collection variables instead.

## Translations

Messages support one **default language** plus any number of additional
languages. Customers browsing your store in a supported language see that
language's messages; everyone else sees the default.

Available languages: English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish,
Russian, Hungarian, Hebrew, Slovenian, Japanese, Polish, and Chinese.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a language">
    In the limit's **Message** tab, click **Add language** and select from
    the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Translate each field">
    Expand the language section and fill in the translated text for each
    message field. Variables work the same in every language.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Manage languages">
    Use **Change default language** to switch which language is the
    fallback, or **Reset content** to restore a field's default text.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Translations are per-limit, so different limits can have entirely
  different messaging.
