# Locale fields are now appended with language and country codes

If available, the language and country/region codes of a customer can now be appended to locale fields to provide more granularity for our partners. Affected fields are `Order.customerLocale` and `Customer.locale` in the GraphQL Admin API. For example, if a customer places an order in the `french` language within the `France` storefront of the shop, then the `Order.customerLocale` and `Customer.locale` fields will have `fr-Fr`.

For more information, refer to the [Order](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/2021-10/objects/order#fields-Order-OBJECT) and [Customer](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/2021-10/objects/Customer#fields-Customer-OBJECT) object fields.
