`LocaleProvider` provides a uniform localization support for built-in text of components.
## Usage
`LocaleProvider` takes use of [context](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/context.html), a feature of React, to accomplish global effectiveness by wrapping the app only once.
```jsx
import { LocaleProvider } from 'antd';
import enUS from 'antd/lib/locale-provider/en_US';
...
return <LocaleProvider locale={enUS}><App /></LocaleProvider>;
```
We provide some locale like English, Chinese, Russian, German, French and etc, all locale packages can be found in [here](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/blob/master/components/locale-provider/).
Note: if you need to use antd's UMD dist file, please import `antd/dist/antd-with-locales.js`:
```jsx
const { LocaleProvider, locales } = window.antd;
...
return <LocaleProvider locale={locales.en_US}><App /></LocaleProvider>;
```
### Add a new language
If you can't find your language, you are welcome to create a locale package based on [en_US](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/blob/master/components/locale-provider/en_US.tsx) and send us a pull request.
### Other localization needs
This component aims for localization of the built-in text, if you want to support other documents, we recommend using [react-intl](https://github.com/yahoo/react-intl), refer to [Intl demo 1](http://github.com/ant-design/intl-example) and [Intl demo 2](http://yiminghe.me/learning-react/examples/react-intl.html?locale=en-US).
