All StoreHippo themes support multiple languages. You can manage translations for your Store Themes, Product Data as well as Messages on your store.
In case, you don't find a language that you might need, Don't worry, it can be added manually via the admin panel of your store.
We have found that displaying the flag on language might create issues for users because one language is used by various countries. For example, English is the language of many countries and thus displaying multiple flags corresponding to that language would affect the user experience for the site.
