Locales UX

Description

The new Locales tool provides a streamlined, intuitive way to manage localization in dotCMS at a granular level. It brings language and regional configuration together into a single, consistent interface, making it easy to define exactly how content should be localized across markets.

From one centralized view, administrators can add, configure, and manage locales that combine language and country settings—such as French-Canada or Spanish-Spain—without jumping between tools or dealing with complex configuration files. Built directly into the Content Model area, Locales UX feels familiar, efficient, and aligned with the rest of the dotCMS experience.

For Developers

Use Cases

Region-Specific Content Delivery
A global organization defines locales such as French-Canada (fr-CA), Spanish-Spain (es-ES), and English-US (en-US) to deliver content tailored to regional language and market needs.

Market Expansion
When launching in a new country, teams quickly add the required locale and immediately begin creating localized content without additional technical setup.

Language & Compliance Requirements
Organizations operating in regions with language regulations ensure required languages are configured and available through clearly defined locales.
