# localization

Information about the countries and languages that are available on a store.

The `localization` object can be used in a [localization form](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/tags/form#form-localization).

To learn about how to offer localization options in your theme, refer to [Support multiple currencies and languages](https://shopify.dev/themes/internationalization/multiple-currencies-languages).
