# Localizing widget display name

The widget display name is a text string defined in the widget `info.plist` file and specified by the `<DisplayName>` key.

To localize the display name of a widget:

1. Define a localized display name in a file called `infoplist.strings`.

2. Store the file under the appropriate language project directory.

The following is an example display name definition in an `infoplist.strings` file:

    DisplayName = "Localized name"

When a widget is being installed, the installer searches for the `infoplist.strings` file under a language project directory that matches with the current device system language. If the installer finds the `infoplist.strings` file and a localized name is provided, the localized name overrides the display name defined in the widget `info.plist` file.

Note: The display name is loaded only once, when a widget is being installed. If users change the system language later, the display name is not changed.
