+# Localization
+
+Localization occurs when using the `format()` method which accepts a `locale` keyword.
+
+```python
+>>> import pendulum
+
+>>> dt = pendulum.datetime(1975, 5, 21)
+>>> dt.format('dddd DD MMMM YYYY', locale='de')
+'Mittwoch 21 Mai 1975'
+
+>>> dt.format('dddd DD MMMM YYYY')
+'Wednesday 21 May 1975'
+```
+
+`diff_for_humans()` is also localized, you can set the locale
+by using `pendulum.set_locale()`.
+
+```python
+>>> import pendulum
+
+>>> pendulum.set_locale('de')
+>>> pendulum.now().add(years=1).diff_for_humans()
+'in 1 Jahr'
+>>> pendulum.set_locale('en')
+```
+
+However, you might not want to set the locale globally. The `diff_for_humans()`
+method accepts a `locale` keyword argument to use a locale for a specific call.
+
+```python
+>>> pendulum.set_locale('de')
+>>> dt = pendulum.now().add(years=1)
+>>> dt.diff_for_humans(locale='fr')
+'dans 1 an'
+```
