Topic Localization
Topic localization lets you quickly create locale-specific versions of your topics and topic sections for each language locale you support. Localized topics/topic sections are added as equivalent children to the parent topic/topic section they are based on.
This article walks you through adding a localized topic or topic section and gives an overview of managing topic locales in the platform.
Things to Note:
- To add a locale-specific version of a topic or topic section, you must have at least one active Locale enabled for your account.

Manage Locale-Specific Topics
When you create a locale-specific topic/topic section, a parent-child relationship is created between the original, parent topic and the locale-specific version, or child topic.
Select the locale drop-down if you need to return to the original, parent locale or to switch a different child locale.
