### Remarks

Set during [LocalizationSettings.InitializeAsync](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/localizationsettings/initializeasync.md). Read it to tell whether a user override was applied at startup or whether the locale came from the project default. Pair it with [LocalizationSettings.EvaluateStartupLocale](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/localizationsettings/evaluatestartuplocale.md) to show both the chosen locale and the one that would have been chosen without the override.
