# Variables
The **Language Selector** app block includes a set of customizable variables, allowing you to adjust its look and feel so it fits seamlessly with your store’s design. You can display language names, codes, and other details to create a clear and intuitive selection experience for your customers.
Below you’ll find the list of available variables and examples of how to combine them to build a selector style that best reflects your brand.
## Available variables

**Why flags aren’t available in the Language Selector**
\
Flags represent **countries**, not **languages**, and one language can be spoken in many countries. To avoid confusion and ensure accessibility, our Language Selector doesn’t include flags as a variable.\
This gives you a clean, consistent, and accurate language selection experience for your customers.\

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.orbe.app/selectors/language-selector/variables.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
