Language is a setting per user, not per shop: the cashier in Kurdish, the accountant in Arabic and the owner in English on the same data.

## Steps

1. Press the language button at the top of the screen (it shows your current language: "عربي", "کوردی" or "English").
2. Pick the language. The interface flips right-to-left or back immediately, and digits stay Western (0–9) in every language.
3. For the theme: open "Settings", then "Language & appearance", and choose "Light" or "Dark".
4. Both choices are saved on your device for this user and survive signing out and back in.

## Notes

- Kurdish is Sorani in the Arabic script, not Kurmanji.
- The public site's language (dashing.krd) is independent of the app's; each is switched from its own button.

## What the system does not do

It does not translate the product and customer names you type — they appear as written in every language.

## Common questions

**Does the receipt language follow the interface language?**

The printed receipt and the WhatsApp link come out in the interface language the staff member is using when they issue them, and a customer statement is sent in the language of the customer page.

**The cashier works in Kurdish and the accountant in Arabic — do they see the same screens?**

Yes. Language is a per-user setting on their device; the data and the books are one.
