# New fields on Country Liquid object

We've added the `available_languages`, `continent` and `popular?` properties on the `country` object in Liquid.

You can now access the languages that have been added to the market that a country belongs to, the country's translated continent name, and whether the country is a popular one amongst those that the shop sells to.

These properties provide flexibility when building a localization switcher, allowing customers to switch country and language simultaneously and allowing for grouping or sorting countries in a theme's country selector

Learn more about these new fields in the [dev docs](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/country#country).
