Locale

Contentstack has a sophisticated, multilingual capability. It allows you to create and publish entries in any language. This feature allows you to set up multilingual websites and cater to a wide variety of audiences by serving content in their local language(s).

find

The find method retrieves the list of all languages (along with the language codes) available for a stack.

client = contentstack_management.Client(authtoken='authtoken')
