# Localization

Localization is a crucial aspect of providing a seamless shopping experience for customers around the globe. The Shop Pay Wallet API supports localization to ensure that customers can interact with the checkout process in their preferred language.

***

## Setting the Locale

To set the locale, include the `locale` parameter when configuring the Shop Pay Payment Request. The `locale` parameter expects a valid ISO language code, with some locales followed by an ISO country code. See the [Supported Locales List](#supported-locales-list) section for the full list.

```javascript
window.ShopPay.PaymentRequest.configure({
  shopId: 1,
  clientId: "[REPLACE-ME]",
  locale: 'fr', // Example: Set locale to French
});
```

**Note:**

If no locale is provided or if the provided locale is invalid, the default locale will be set to English (`en`).
