# Localization quickstart

> A short roadmap for enabling, managing, and shipping localized content in ButterCMS.

Localization lets you manage multiple languages (locales) in one ButterCMS account. Keep this page short—use it as a map to the deeper docs you actually need.

<Note>
  Localization requires account-level enablement. If you don’t see **Settings → Localization**, [contact support](../../support/contact-status/contact-support).
</Note>

## Fast path

1. **Enable locales** in the dashboard.
2. **Translate content** (manual or via integrations).
3. **Fetch localized content** in your app using the locale parameter.
