There you will find language choices (it will only show the languages you have installed, the default is English only), The Subject of the email and the Body of the email. Edit the Subject and Body to your liking, keeping in mind that some of the emails are sent to onsite email boxes as well as offsite email and that more complex html coding is likely to fail in onsite email boxes.
