Markets need visual context
Markets can differ by language, pricing, shipping expectations, product claims, packaging, and campaign messaging.
Your product images should reflect those differences where they affect trust or conversion.
- Language
- Packaging
- Claims
- Campaigns
Language vs market localization
Language localization changes visuals based on storefront language. Market localization changes visuals based on country or market context.
Many stores eventually need both.

Then publish the highest-impact variants first and expand over time.
