## How Localization Works

### Language

Your selected language is used for interface labels and other BeatPass text where translations exist.

<Note>
  User-created content is not automatically translated.
</Note>

### Country

Your country is stored as part of your account preferences.

For a new exclusive license configuration, BeatPass uses this country to prefill **Governing law**. You can review or change the value before publishing. Saved terms on an existing beat are not overwritten when you later change your account country.

### Timezone

BeatPass uses your saved timezone when showing dates and times throughout the product.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Times still look wrong after changing timezone">
    Make sure you clicked **Save**, then refresh the page. If the problem continues, confirm that you selected the timezone closest to your location.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My language isn't available">
    Only the languages currently configured for BeatPass appear in the dropdown.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Some text is still in English">
    That usually means a translation is not available for that part of the interface yet, or the text was created by another user.
  </Accordion>
