#Manage locales

To manage your project locales go to Project settings > Locales in your Hygraph project.

Project locales

Locales are environment specific. This means their configuration is applied per environment. Take this into consideration if you're working with a project using more than one environment.

#Add locale

The default locale is English, but you can edit this or add additional locales by selecting a language from the Display name dropdown and then clicking + Add.

Add locales

#Edit locale

Edit locales

#Delete locale

To delete a locale, simply click on the context menu and select Delete.

Delete locales

The context menu will only display for additional locales, as it is not possible to delete the default locale.

Delete locales confirmation

A confirmation message will display when you attempt to delete a locale. Click on the Delete button to confirm the deletion.
