Switch between formal and casual wording

Many languages address people differently depending on how formal you want to sound — Czech vykání / tykání, German Sie / du, French vous / tu, Spanish usted / . Charm’s Tone of voice setting lets you pick one register, and it applies to all of your default customer-facing copy at once — consistently across every language your store uses.

Steps

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Find Tone of voice.
  3. Choose Formal or Casual.
  4. Save.

Your choice reflows the default copy across every customer surface — the storefront widget, Loyalty Hub, landing page, auto-generated FAQ, and customer emails — in every language that has the distinction. Leave the setting untouched and each language stays on its own natural default (formal for German and Czech, informal for Spanish and Italian, and so on).

Two languages work a little differently:

  • English has no formal/informal you, so the switch changes word choice and tone instead — receive / select rather than get / pick, and fuller phrasing without contractions.
  • Brazilian Portuguese uses você either way, so only the warmth shifts (for example com a gente instead of conosco).

Languages the switch leaves alone

Some languages have no everyday formal/informal split, so they keep their natural wording no matter which option you pick: Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Estonian, Japanese, and Korean.
