Localization

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:

LanguageLocale Code
Englishen (default)
Spanishes
Frenchfr
Germande
Italianit
Japaneseja
Thaith
Turkishtr
Koreanko
Russianru
Portugesept
Indonesianid

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 for categories that we think will only apply in certain countries.
