# Supported languages

You can pass a language value in certain API requests and JavaScript functions, determining how checkout experiences, disclosures, purchase invoices, and credit memos are translated.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also append a country or region code that localizes the translation for some languages, such as Chinese and English.
{% endhint %}

Depending on whether you create your checkout experience using [Prebuilt Checkout](https://app.gitbook.com/s/-LqH4RJfLVLuHPXuJyTZ/integration-options/low-code-checkouts/drop-in-checkout) or take the [Direction Integrations](https://app.gitbook.com/s/-LqH4RJfLVLuHPXuJyTZ/integration-options/checkouts) approach, refer to the following sections to learn more about which requests and functions accept a language and what behavior it controls:
