# Shopify Functions now support localization of their name and description

Shopify Functions now supports localization of the function name and description. Function names and descriptions which are displayed in admin, such as the names of function discount types, can now be translated into the user’s native language.

Use of this localization requires [upgrading](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/tools/cli#upgrade-shopify-cli) Shopify CLI to 3.49.5 or higher.

Learn more about localization of functions on [Shopify.dev](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/functions/localization).
