# Setting the language for transactional emails
Memberply can send transactional emails to members when something happens automatically, such as when a member earns points, receives store credit, receives a discount code, requests a member login link, or is notified that their membership benefits are about to expire.
By default, these emails are sent in English. You can change the transactional email language so these automatically generated emails are sent in the language that best matches your market.
This is a store-wide setting. Once you change it, Memberply will use that language for all built-in transactional emails it sends for your store.
1. From the main menu, click on Emails.
2. Next select the membership tier and click on Edit Emails.
3. In the Transactional email language section, choose the language you want Memberply to use.
4. Memberply will save the setting automatically.
The available languages are:
* English
* Deutsch
* Español
* Filipino
* Français
* हिन्दी
* Italiano
* 日本語
* Português
* Svenska
* Türkçe
* 中文
This setting applies to Memberply's built-in transactional emails. Custom emails that you write yourself, such as the welcome email and renewal reminder emails, keep the wording you entered in the email editor.
