Language settings control end-user language selection, locale formats, and translation options. This type extends the Metadata metadata type and inherits its fullName field. --- # LanguageSettings Represents an organization’s language settings. Language settings control end-user language selection, locale formats, and translation options. This type extends the Metadata metadata type and inherits its fullName field. In the package manifest, all organization settings metadata types are accessed using the Settings name. See [Settings](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_settings.htm "Represents the organization settings related to a feature. For example, your password policies, session settings and network access controls are all available in the SecuritySettings component type.") for details. ## File Suffix and Directory Location LanguageSettings values are stored in the Language.settings file in the settings directory. The .settings files are different from other named components because there’s only one settings file for each settings component. ## Version LanguageSettings is available in API version 47.0 and later. ## Fields
