🎉 Material UI v5 is out! Head to the migration guide to get started.

Localization

Localization (also referred to as "l10n") is the process of adapting a product or content to a specific locale or market.

The default locale of Material-UI is English (United States). If you want to use other locales, follow the instructions below.

Locale text

Use the theme to configure the locale text globally:

import { createTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import { zhCN } from '@material-ui/core/locale';

const theme = createTheme({
  palette: {
    primary: { main: '#1976d2' },
  },
}, zhCN);

<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
  <App />
</ThemeProvider>

You can find the source in the GitHub repository.

To create your own translation, or to customise the English text, copy this file to your project, make any changes needed and import the locale from there.

Please do consider contributing new translations back to Material-UI by opening a pull request. However, Material-UI aims to support the 100 most popular locales, we might not accept contributions for locales that are not frequently used, for instance gl-ES that has "only" 2.5 million native speakers.

RTL Support

Right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Persian or Hebrew are supported. Follow this guide to use them.
