[^UUID-816ef46b-afb4-bdc0-73ac-0f086a2d8af6_glossentry-culture-code]: A setting that is used to fetch language-specific text for multilingual content item properties, letting users view content in their preferred language (such as *nl-BE*, *en-US*, and so on) wherever it is available. The culture setting consists of a two-letter language code and a two-letter region code, for example, the culture code for American English is *en-US* and for British English is *en-GB*. This is distinct from a portal language, which affects the display language of the UI.
