 Easy access to text editing is possible due to the usage of language variables. A language variable is a named storage location that can contain textual data. X-Cart's template code and program code operate with language variable names, not with text pieces directly. Thus, text pieces contained in variables can be edited without changing the template or program code.
-In fact, editing text in X-Cart boils down to editing language variable values. X-Cart allows you to edit language variable values using the '<u>Languages</u>' section of the store's back end (See [[#Managing Language Variables]) or using Webmaster mode (See [[#Using Webmaster Mode]]).

 X-Cart's '<u>Languages</u>' section allows you to edit the values of existing language variables, add new language variables and delete the language variables that you do not need in your store.
