# Translatable Default Values in Theme Settings Schema

Now, theme developers can utilize schema translation files to make default values in theme sections translatable. This ensures that themes are equipped to support multiple languages right from the onboarding state and when integrating new sections. For detailed guidance on how to reference schema translations, please refer to the [developer documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/architecture/locales/schema-locale-files#reference-schema-translations).
