You can specify the locale by setting the `Accept-Language` HTTP header in your request. Alternatively, you can add a `locale=XXX` parameter to your request but HTTP header specification is preferred. We currently support the following locales:

| Language | Locale Code |
| --- | --- |
| English | `en` (default) |
| Spanish | `es` |
| French | `fr` |
| German | `de` |
| Italian | `it` |
| Japanese | `ja` |
| Thai | `th` |
| Turkish | `tr` |
| Korean | `ko` |
| Russian | `ru` |
| Portugese | `pt` |
| Indonesian | `id` |

Note: If nothing is specified, for geographical entities (e.g., city names), we'll fall back to using the language that's most popular in the country for that venue.

Foursquare also supports many country-specific subcategories in our venue categories. "Supported Countries" are listed in our [category tree](https://docs.foursquare.com/developer/docs/pilgrim-categories) for categories that we think will only apply in certain countries.
