About this task

Enabling or disabling localization in the CCMS simply consists of making the Localize option available or unavailable in each platform. If you enable localization for CCMS Desktop, you must disable it for CCMS Web. MadCap strongly advises not to use both platforms simultaneously, as this can cause a lot of issues, especially with shared content.
