# Install a new locale

Installing a locale enables the Geoprism Registry to be translated to that language. This is the first step to enable a Geoprism Registry instance to be translated. All locale options that can be installed in the GPR can be found [here](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/java8locales-2095355.html#util-text).

You must install all the locales you expect your users to need. Sometimes there are slightly different locales that all need to be included because a browser may have only one version and not the other. As an example, Khmer has two locale versions (*kh\_KM* and *kh*). Both of these locales must be installed and imported to ensure the Khmer language is shown in all browsers.

1. Go to the **Settings** page and find the **Localization** section.

3. Select the **Language** and **Country**. The list of countries doesn't depend on the language you select. Then enter a **Display Label** for the new locale, with one field per installed locale.
4. Click **Submit**.

The new locale appears in the language menu at the top right of the page, so users can switch to it. See [Switch locale](/version/v2.0.0/deployment-and-setup/localisation/switch-locale.md). To change a locale's display label later, click the pencil icon next to it in the **Localization** table.
