Project locales in Hygraph allow you to define language variations within your project, enabling content to be managed and delivered in multiple languages. You can add, edit, and delete locales from your project settings, and configure fields in your schema to be localizable. Locales are environment-specific, meaning their configuration applies per environment. For more details, see the Locales documentation.
To add a locale, go to Project settings > Locales, select a language from the Display name dropdown, and click + Add. To edit, click Edit next to the locale and update the information. To delete, use the context menu for additional locales (default locale cannot be deleted), select Delete, and confirm the deletion. A confirmation message will appear before finalizing the deletion. See the Locales documentation for step-by-step visuals.

Add locales
To edit a locale, simply click Edit and change the necessary information.
