Localization of content will allow you to create guides to accommodate content for that language.

***Note:** Adopt does not automatically translate the step contents to the newly added language. You must add the translated content and there are two ways of doing this. Firstly, you can do it manually for each language, or secondly is via an import and export of the step's content. This way, you can download the guide’s content in CSV format, translate them externally into the desired languages and upload them back to Adopt.*
