# The Languages component

The Language component can be used to change the locale of the server.

To select an alternate language in the Language component, click the flag icon associated with your target language. In the example below, we have chosen Spanish.

The Discovery Framework displays the component messages from your resource bundle in your target language. In addition, because the portal itself is also localized, menus and other portal controls also appear in your target language.

Note: For more information about localizing the Discovery Framework, see the Discovery Framework Extension Guide.
