# Localize content

Content Hub ONE simplifies the process of creating content in multiple languages and preserves the content item's structure and the link to the original content item.

> [!important]
> To enable localization, the Content Hub ONE Administrator must [create locales](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch-one/en/developers/content-hub-one/en/manage-locales-using-the-app.html).

When you [create a content item](urn:resource:component:1334331), it becomes the *primary* content item. You can create localizations from the primary content item or from an existing localization. Each localization has its own locale, but all localizations retain the ID of the primary content item.

> [!note]
> When you [duplicate a content item](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch-one/en/users/content-hub-one/duplicate-content.html "Duplicate content"), the duplicate becomes the primary content item.

> [!note]
> When no locale is selected, the locale is *null*. You cannot change the locale after a localization is created.

The primary content item and the localizations are all individual content items and can be published independently, but they are associated each to the other and you can switch between them from the details page. In the following example, the primary content item is in American English, which has a locale code of *en-US*. The localizations are in French (Canada) and Spanish (Spain). You can move between the primary content item and the localizations by clicking the links in the **Localization** section.

The workflow to create localizations, which is the first step in the translation process, is:

1. The *Administrator* [defines the locales](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch-one/en/developers/content-hub-one/en/manage-locales-using-the-app.html) for the languages required.
2. Content authors create [localizations](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch-one/en/users/content-hub-one/localize-content/create-localizations.html "Create localizations"), add the necessary content and [translate it](urn:resource:component:1397692) as required, and then publish as needed.

> [!note]
> In Content Hub ONE, each tenant has its own tenant-specific locales.
