# Localization Skill

This skill guides you through localizing B2C Commerce storefronts for multiple languages and regions.

## Overview

B2C Commerce supports localization through:

| Component | Approach |
|-----------|----------|
| **Templates** | Single template set + resource bundles |
| **Forms** | Shared definitions + locale-specific labels |
| **Static content** | Locale-specific folders |
| **Product data** | Localizable attributes |

## Locale Format

Locales follow ISO standards: `{language}_{country}`

| Format | Example | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| `en` | English | Language only |
| `en_US` | English/USA | Language + country |
| `fr_CA` | French/Canada | Language + country |
| `de_DE` | German/Germany | Language + country |
