# Locale fields on `MarketWebPresence` now return `ShopLocale` object

As of `2024-04` the following fields on the [`MarketWebPresence`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-04/objects/MarketWebPresence) object will no longer return locale strings and will instead make use of the [`ShopLocale`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/objects/ShopLocale) type:

* `defaultLocale`
* `alternateLocales`

We’re making this change as it allows callers to query for more information regarding locales on a market, such as whether it is published or primary. Please ensure to update your API calls using `MarketWebPresence.defaultLocale` or `MarketWebPresence.alternateLocales` to use the `ShopLocale` type.

Learn more about the `MarketWebPresence` object on [Shopify.dev](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-04/objects/MarketWebPresence).
