No, I used checkout as an example because I would expect Checkout to be one place where this is a common issue. My implementation is custom and uses the react PaymentElement

I see, okay. I know you can set locale on Checkout Session creation (or omit it altogether to have us detect a customer's location based on their browser): https://support.stripe.com/questions/supported-languages-for-stripe-checkout-and-payment-links
That said, I think this will just localize things like input field labels, not product names
If you're using the PaymentElement, product names aren't rendered anywhere
sleek kindle
Yes, it's product names, descriptions, and statement descriptors that I'm wondering about. Statement descriptors are the only one that I believe customers would see with my current implementation, but if I were to use Checkout or make use of emailed receipts, then the other fields would be seen too.

Got it
Okay, so locale with Checkout doesn't localize product names or descriptions
This is something other developers have requested before, either to do automatically based on the customer's browser or to allow users/developers to configure multiple local variants
sleek kindle
Yes, we would want to configure locale variants. I was actually surprised when I couldn't find an existing way to do it yet
clear turret
Gotcha, okay. This isn't currently possible without creating a brand-new Product, unfortunately. If you transition to using Checkout, customers will see Product names and descriptions as they were created/sent to us by you, without localization
Could you share your account ID so I can track this feedback on my end? I don't have an ETA for when this might be available but tracking this helps our team understand feature demand
sleek kindle
Sure. Is it best to send that privately?
clear turret
You can send that here or you can send some other ID (customer, product, price) and I can pull up your account on my end
