# Cider i18n

Some notes about Cider's i18n support.

- Localization files are stored in jsonc format aka "JSON with Comments"
- The default language is English.
- The default language is used for messages that are not translated.
- Try when possible to keep the messages the similar in length to the English ones.
- Most of the strings in the content area are provided and translated by Apple themselves, and do not need to be translated.
- The language Apple Music uses are dependent on the storefront region.
