# Localizer

> Namespace: KodeFlowStudios.Parley.Localization

Static lookup and helpers for everything language-related.

**Declaration**

```c# theme={null}
public static class Localizer
```

#### Description

Central entry point for language metadata and runtime language state in Parley. Use it to resolve a `LanguageID` from an ISO code, look up a language's English name and reading direction, or query the active language at runtime. All members are static.

## Fields

### FallbackLanguage

Default language used whenever a call doesn't pass one explicitly.

**Declaration**

```csharp theme={null}
public static LanguageID FallbackLanguage
```

### FallbackTextDirection

Default text direction for the fallback language.

**Declaration**

```csharp theme={null}
public static TextDirection FallbackTextDirection
```

### Languages

The master registry that maps every <see cref="LanguageID" /> to its
ISO code, native spelling, and English name. Keep this in sync
with the enum above, or lookups will throw at runtime.

**Declaration**

```csharp theme={null}
public static readonly Dictionary<LanguageID, LanguageInfo> Languages
