An i18nRegion
resource identifies a geographic area that a YouTube user can select as the preferred content region. The content region can also be referred to as a content locale. For the YouTube website, a content region could be automatically selected based on heuristics like the YouTube domain or the user's IP location. A user could also manually select the desired content region from the YouTube site footer.
Each i18nRegion
resource identifies a region code and a name. The region code can be used as the value of the regionCode
parameter when calling API methods like search.list
, videos.list
, activities.list
, and videoCategories.list
.
