MAGENTO 2 LOCALE CUSTOMIZATION SUPPORT:

TIMEZONE

In ScandiPWA, the timezone you set in your back-end, determines the time when the orders get created. The timezone can be set to each website differently, however, for server script sync, it is recommended to set Global timezone settings for UMC.

LOCALE

ScandiPWA supports multiple languages out of the box. Our translation file is growing every day and includes languages like French, German, Russian, Turkish, Dutch, Norwegian, etc. The full list is available in the ScandiPWA GitHub here.

By default, ScandiPWA comes with English set in the Magento back-end. To set a different language to your store, the translation bundle needs to be switched.
