\**Our widget currently uses the rules from Denmark (DK) for this jurisdiction, with specific support for local rules planned for a future version.*

Additional jurisdictions and languages will be added over time.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you do not specify a language, or if the language you set is not supported by us **in the visitor's jurisdiction**, English will be used. The table above lists the supported combinations.
{% endhint %}

## Setting the display language

To set the display language, initialize your widget with the `locale` option set to the value for the language you desire. For example, to use Danish when the jurisdiction is Denmark, your widget's initialization would look similar to this:

```javascript
legal.widget({
    type: "cookie",
    widgetPublicKey: "...",
    locale: "da-dk",
});
```
