# Localization and Time format

## Localization

By default is set in English but you can change it on some of the available languages.

This option you will find in **Settings > Localization**.

### **Adding new language**

Since some of the languages are still not available you can add manually new language. There are several steps you need to do for achieving that using **Translation plugin** available with the admin account.

For more detailed information check the **Translations** article on the link below

## Time Format

From the version 1.2 there is option for customizing the time format in the script for working hours.

There are two options:

* 24 hours time format `24hours`
* AM PM format `AM/PM`

By default is 24 hours time format.

```
TIME_FORMAT="24hours"
```

## Time zone

To set the correct timezone that your site operates in create .env variable.

It is really important to have done this step, in order restaurant closing and open time to work ok.

```
TIME_ZONE=UTC
```
