# Orchard Core Localization

## Choose the Layer

| Goal | Use |
|---|---|
| Translate a label or message in C#, Razor or Liquid | PO localization (`OrchardCore.Localization`) with `S`, `H` or `T` and a PO file |
| Count-dependent text ("1 item" / "{0} items") | `Plural()` and a PO `msgid_plural` entry |
| Text declared where no localizer or culture exists (static fields, permissions, deployment steps, descriptors) | `LocalizationSource`, see `orchardcore-localization-source` |
| Translate data-driven values (content type names, context-free permission descriptions, custom dynamic strings) | Data Localization (`OrchardCore.DataLocalization`), see `orchardcore-data-localization` |
| Translate content items (a blog post in French) | Content Localization (`LocalizationPart`), see `orchardcore-content-localization` |
| Add a supported culture or change the default one | Culture settings below |
