# Economy v2 Localization

> Localize and globalize GDK titles for XBOX consoles with MicrosoftGame.config strings, NLS APIs, per-locale resources, and Partner Center service surfaces.

XBOX supports multiple languages and locales.

Localization in GDK titles covers:

* Package shell visuals (display name, description)
* In-title resources (strings, images)
* National Language Support (NLS) APIs

## Topics

| Topic | Description |
| - | - |
| [**MicrosoftGame.config localization**](https://docs.xbox.com/build/core-features/common/game-config/MicrosoftGameConfig-Localization.md) | Localize shell-visible display strings using `.resw` files and `makepkg localize` |
| **Console-supported languages** | The full list of languages the console can render |
| **Determining console locale and language** | APIs to read locale/language preferences |
| **Supported NLS functions** | NLS APIs available in `WINAPI_FAMILY_GAMES` |
| **Game supported and unsupported locales** | Handle locales your game does not localize |

## Localizing XBOX services surfaces

The topics above cover localizing your title's own resources and shell package. For content that lives in XBOX services — Rich Presence templates, achievement titles and descriptions, event names, Featured Stat labels — author localized variants in Partner Center and let the platform's language fallback chain serve the right language per player.

See [Localized strings and XBOX Services language fallback](https://docs.xbox.com/services/xbox-services/community/localized-strings/live-localized-strings-config.md) for the authoring workflow, supported locales, and fallback behavior.
