> Localization translates a Startup’s Site, docs, Messages, and support into each Market’s locales and keeps every translation in step with its source.

Localization translates a [Startup](/business/nouns/startup)’s [Site](/business/nouns/site), docs, [Messages](/business/nouns/message), and support into each [Market](/business/nouns/market)’s locales and keeps every translation in step with its source.

## Contract
Every [Page](/business/nouns/page), doc, [Message](/business/nouns/message) and support answer has a source locale and one translation per locale of each [Market](/business/nouns/market) the Startup enters. A change to the source marks each translation stale until it is translated again, and stale text never ships. Translated legal text is read by the [Legal Lead](/agents/legal/legal-lead) before it publishes.

## Verbs
| Verb | Object | Event |

| [Market.enter](/business/nouns/market/enter) | [Market](/business/nouns/market) | [`Market.entered`](/business/events/Market.entered) |

## Example
A [Startup](/business/nouns/startup) enters the Canada Market. Localization translates its Site and support replies into `fr-CA`, and the French language floor row checks that both languages show with equal prominence.
