Localization
Localization (also referred to as "l10n") is the process of adapting a product or content to a specific locale or market.
The default locale of Material-UI is English (United States). If you want to use other locales, follow the instructions below.
Locale text
Use the theme to configure the locale text globally:
import { createMuiTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import { zhCN } from '@material-ui/core/locale';
const theme = createMuiTheme({
palette: {
primary: { main: '#1976d2' },
},
}, zhCN);
<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
<App />
</ThemeProvider>
