# isLocalized

*Command · Strings, Localization · Arma 3 v0.50*

## Description

Checks whether given *stringName* is [localize](../commands/localize.md)d.

## Syntax

```sqf
isLocalized stringName
```

**Parameters:**

- `stringName`: [String](../topics/String.md) - string which leads to localisation. Casing does not matter. Since Arma 3 v2.04 a string starting with `"$"` is supported as well

**Returns:** [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md)

## Examples

### Example 1

```sqf
if (isLocalized "STR_USRACT_ADJUST") then 
{
    hint localize "STR_USRACT_ADJUST";
} 
else 
{
    hint "STR_USRACT_ADJUST";
    diag_log "ToDo: STR_USRACT_ADJUST is not localized";
};
```

### Example 2

```sqf
isLocalized "$STR_USRACT_ADJUST"; // Since Arma v2.04
```
