Upgrade Your Locale Switcher With Locale Data Bindings

Build smarter localized sites with new locale data bindings that lets your locale switcher update automatically based on the active language or region

Upgrade Your Locale Switcher With Locale Data Bindings

Building a great localized experience shouldn’t mean extra work for your team. Until now, creating a locale switcher meant setting up a dropdown, and then manually updating the dropdown label across every locale — to keep things in sync.

Now, that can be automatic. With global locale data bindings, you can connect text properties directly to your locale data so your switcher always displays the current language or region. No manual edits, no duplicated work — just a smarter, more reliable experience for your visitors.

And with expanded data options, you now have full flexibility in how your switcher appears. In addition to Locale and Display name, you can bind to:

  • Locale
  • Country
  • Language
  • Display name
  • Display Image

Each is available as its own data binding, giving you more control over how your navigation looks and behaves.
