# Internationalization

ElementPlus components are using English **by default**, if you wish you use other
languages, you can get you answer by keep reading.

## Global configuration

ElementPlus provides global configurations

```typescript
import ElementPlus from 'element-plus'
import zhCn from 'element-plus/es/locale/lang/zh-cn'

app.use(ElementPlus, {
  locale: zhCn,
})
```

## ConfigProvider

ElementPlus also provides a Vue component [ConfigProvider](/#/zh-CN/component/config-provider)
for globally configuring locale and other settings.

```html
<template>
  <el-config-provider :locale="locale">
    <app />
  </el-config-provider>
</template>

<script>
import { defineComponent } from 'vue'
import { ElConfigProvider } from 'element-plus'

import zhCn from 'element-plus/lib/locale/lang/zh-cn'

export default defineComponent({
  components: {
    ElConfigProvider,
  },
  setup() {
    return {
      locale: zhCn,
    }
  },
})
</script>
```

## CDN Usage

If you are using ElementPlus via CDN, then you need to do this, let's again take
unpkg as an example

```html
<script src="//unpkg.com/element-plus/dist/locale/zh-cn">
<script>
app.use(ElementPlus, {
  locale: ElementPlus.lang.zhCn
})
</script>
```

## FAQs

### If I want to replace the default language pack to reduce the size, how do I do?

When the default language of your app is not **English**, you will be going to need
to import another language file, which will increase the bundle size since you have
both **English** and **Your desired language** bundled,
you can use the plugin [NormalModuleReplacementPlugin](https://webpack.js.org/plugins/normal-module-replacement-plugin/#root)
provided by [webpack](https://webpack.js.org) to replace the default language file,
so that you will only get **1** language file bundled.
Add the code below into your `webpack.config.js` to get it work.

> webpack.config.js

```typescript
{
  plugins: [
    new webpack.NormalModuleReplacementPlugin(
      /element-plus[\/\\]lib[\/\\]locale[\/\\]lang[\/\\]en/,
      'element-plus/lib/locale/lang/zh-cn',
    ),
  ]
}
```
