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

Select the locale drop-down if you need to return to the original, parent locale or to switch a different child locale.
