# Localization

As of version `v2.0.0` Faker has support for multiple localities.

The default language locale is set to English.

Setting a new locale is simple:

```js
// sets locale to de
faker.setLocale('de');
// or
faker.locale = 'de';
```

## Individual Localization Packages

As of version `v3.0.0` Faker supports incremental loading of locales.

By default, requiring `faker` will include _all_ locale data.

In a production environment, you may only want to include the locale data for a specific set of locales.

```js
// loads only de locale
const faker = require('faker/locale/de');
```
