When you create a new program, always archive the program's presentation at the appropriate language level of the locale hierarchy. Localizers can then create localized presentations for other languages in the locale hierarchy. Other localized presentations can be accessed by users with other language preferences. If no presentation is available for a particular language, the program is presented in its original language.

This technique ensures that, through the locale hierarchy, an end user always has access to some version of the presentation no matter what locale is active. It also means that one translation can easily be shared. For example, if a localizer archives a translated presentation at the French language level, it can be used from any French-speaking locale in lower levels of the hierarchy.
