# Localization

> You can handle different languages within your applications

# Overview

The OwnID interface uses American English (en\_US) by default. If that’s fine, then you can skip this Localization page.

In order to configure your language(s), go to the `Branding → Button Look and Feel` page in the console. In the Language field, mark the checkboxes of all the languages in which your website interface can appear.

In case you have selected more than a language, you can specify which one will be active when the OwnID widget is initialized using the `language` parameter:

```javascript Example: Initializing OwnID in French theme={null}
ownid('init', {appId: 'yourAppId', language: 'fr'});
```

The following languages are supported:

# Changing Default Translations

OwnID allows clients to customize the translations used in their front-end implementations. This can be done by passing a JSON object with specific keywords and their corresponding values for each locale.
This flexibility makes it easier to fine-tune user interfaces according to different language needs.
