## Description

The Switch Locale Node changes the [Locale](/ai/platform-features/translation-and-localization/localization) of the Flow during a conversation. It is common to use this Node after language detection or based on the region of the user to execute a change to the conversational language or structure based on an assessment of the user's region or spoken language.

## Prerequisites

* A [Locale](/ai/platform-features/translation-and-localization/localization) must be configured in order to populate the options available for selection in the **Locale** list.

| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Use CognigyScript | Toggle to use CognigyScript to switch the Locale using the Locale reference ID in the **Locale** field.    |
| Locale            | Select the Locale to switch to or enter the Locale reference ID if the **Use CognigyScript** is activated. |

## Usage

To switch the Locale for the current execution, you need to use a [Think](/ai/agents/develop/node-reference/logic/think) Node after the Switch Locale Node. With this functionality, the current Flow is triggered again, but the new Locale is used.
