 Browser placement and proxy location are independent. `browser.region` chooses where the browser runs; the connection's [proxy](/proxies/overview) controls the exit IP that websites see. Regional browsers don't provide a data residency guarantee. See [Regional Browsers](/browsers/regions) for storage and processing details.
 
+## Browser locale
+
+By default, the browsers Managed Auth uses for a connection report an English locale to websites, such as `en-US` in `us-east`. If your users sign in to sites in another language, set `browser.location.locale` on the connection, for example `sv-SE` for Swedish. Sites that choose their language from the browser then show their login page, field labels, and MFA prompts in your user's language.

+The locale applies to every browser the connection uses: the first login, health checks, and automatic reauthentication. Change it with `auth.connections.update`, or set it to `null` to go back to the default.
+
+This is the same `locale` as [browser location](/browsers/location), applied to the connection's browsers. See that page for supported values and how the locale affects the browser.

 ## SSO/OAuth support
 
 Managed Auth supports common "Sign in with Google/GitHub/Microsoft" flows. The user completes the OAuth flow with the provider, and Kernel saves the authenticated session to the profile. Automatic reauthentication depends on the provider's login requirements. See [Can this connection auto-reauth?](/auth/connection-lifecycle#can-this-connection-auto-reauth) for how Kernel determines eligibility.
