How do I change my language, country, or the currency I see?

Change the interface language from the language dropdown or Settings → Profile. Change your country on the choose-region page. Currency always follows the country.

Written by Wishpicks

You change the interface language from the language dropdown (in the footer and navbar) or in Settings → Profile, and you change your country on the choose-region page. You can't pick a currency on its own — currency always follows the country you choose.

Steps

To change the language:

  1. Open the language dropdown in the footer or navbar, or go to Settings → Profile and use the Language select.

  2. Pick your language. The page reloads in that language, and your choice is remembered.

To change your country (and currency):

  1. Go to the choose-region page (linked from the footer, from Settings → Profile, and from the region-suggestion banner).

  2. Pick your country. Countries are listed by region with their currency code.

  3. The page updates to your country, which also sets the currency Wishpicks uses for your region.

How this works

  • Language and country are separate choices. Switching the language keeps your current country. Switching your country doesn't change your language.

  • Currency follows the country. There's no standalone currency picker. Each country maps to one currency (for example, US → USD, Germany → EUR, UK → GBP), so to change currency you change your country.

  • Changing your country can change email defaults. Moving into certain regions can switch your Product news emails off until you opt in. You can adjust this in "How do I change my notification and email preferences (and turn off emails)?"

Prices aren't converted. Wishpicks doesn't recalculate an item's price into your currency — each wish keeps the currency it was added in and shows in that native currency, so items from different stores and countries can sit side by side in different currencies (for example, £, €, and ₴). That's expected. Your country currency only sets the formatting and acts as a fallback for items that have no currency of their own; see "Why do prices on my wishlist show in different currencies?" in Managing wishes for more.

Wishpicks supports several interface languages, including English, Ukrainian, Polish, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese.
