# Internationalization
Kibana is translated into other languages. Use our `i18n` utilities to ensure your public facing strings will be translated to ensure all Kibana apps are localized. Read and adhere to our [internationalization guidelines](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/src/platform/packages/shared/kbn-i18n/GUIDELINE.md).
