Change your account language
Changing your account language changes only the language that is displayed to you in your Shopify admin. It will not affect the language of your online storefront. To change the language of your online storefront, refer to Translating themes.
Steps:
From your Shopify admin, click your username and account picture.
Click Manage account.
In the Preferred language section, in the Language field, select the language that you want to use from the drop-down menu.
Change your account region
Changing your account region adjusts the time, date, currencies, and numbers in your Shopify admin to match the standard formatting of the region that you choose.
If the currency of your chosen account region doesn't match your store currency, then the currency code of your store currency displays next to any monetary values in your admin. For example, when the store currency and account region both use USD, a monetary value of 100 would display in your admin as "$100". If the store currency is USD and the account region uses EUR, then a monetary value of 100 would display as "USD 100".
From your Shopify admin, click your username and account picture.
Click Manage account.
In the Preferred language section, in the Regional Format field, click Change regional format.
Select the region that you want to use from the drop-down menu.
