# Get Localized Entries

When managing multilingual content, it is important to differentiate between localized entries and those displayed due to [fallback language](/docs/headless-cms/about-fallback-languages) settings.

Contentstack enables users to filter and view entries localized in the selected language, enhancing both the accuracy and efficiency of localization workflows.

**Note**: By default, the entries list displays only localized entries for the selected language because the **Show localized only** toggle is enabled. If you disable the toggle, the list displays both localized entries and their fallback content. To view entries across all available languages, select **All Languages** from the language filter.

1.  Navigate to your [stack](/docs/headless-cms/about-stack) and click the “[Entries](/docs/headless-cms/about-entries)” icon in the left navigation panel or use the shortcut key “E” (for both Windows and Mac users).
2.  Access the **Language** filter using one of the following methods:
    *   Click the **Filters** tab in the left panel and select the **Languages** filter dropdown.
        
        **Note:** If this option isn’t visible, click **Manage Filters** at the bottom of the panel and enable the Language filter.
        
    *   Alternatively, click the “Filter” icon in the **Language** column.
        
        **Note:** If the Language column isn’t visible, enable it from **Table Settings**.

3.  Filter the localized content using one of the following methods:
    *   In the **Language** dropdown, select the desired language.
    *   In the **Localized in** dropdown (located within the same menu), select the same language again.
        
        **For example:** To view localized entries in Chinese, select “Chinese” as the language and select “Chinese” again in the Localized in dropdown.

    *   Alternatively, enable the **Show localized only** toggle and select one or more languages as needed.

4.  Click **Apply** to save your preferences.

The entries list now displays only those entries explicitly localized in the selected language.

**Note:** The language filter setting is saved automatically and remains active until changed.

**Additional Resources:** You can further refine your entry list by using [**Advanced Settings**](/docs/headless-cms/localization-operator-real-world-scenarios#case-2-search-for-entries-that-are-localized-only-in-chinese-china) in the Filters panel. This allows for more granular control over how localized content is displayed.
