This section allows you to view and edit templates for system messages sent to your website visitors.
Location in admin panel: Configuration > Letters templates in website admin mode.
Description
System messages are the ones sent automatically in response to website user’s actions (or lack of action). For example, visitor registered on your website. He or she will get confirmation message. Customer added goods to shopping cart but did not make payment. He or she will get abandoned cart reminder.
Such messages are a great way to improve customer loyalty, as users get a response to their actions, and also to increase conversion rate (as, for instance, in case of “abandoned” shopping cart messages).

Besides, a response to user’s actions in any language is still better than nothing (especially if it is an international language - English).Perform the following steps if you want to specify open template to be used as the default one . Users of Chinese version will receive letter from the English version. Sometimes it's convenient if letter does not contain texts.
