# Locales and Text

All records contain text that must be displayed different for different user locales, this is always encoded in a JSON dictionary of the form 

```javascript
{
    "DE_DE": "Deutscher Text",
    "EN_US": "English text"
}
```

The user agent should render the field using the appropriate locale (JSON object key) for the user. If that key is absent, the organization primary locale should be used. If that is absent as well, an arbitrary value should be used. The object might be empty to indicate that the optional field is not filled out and should be hidden by the user agent.

The currently supported locales are listed in the [Locale](/public/json-api/enumerations/locale.md) section
