+# Languages (locale)
+
+Country-specific app internationalisation.
+
+This is not an app, but instead it is a library that can be used by
+other applications or widgets to display messages.
+
+## Usage
+
+Some menus that pop up are translated automatically, but if you're
+writing an application you can use the `locale` library to
+do all the translation for you.
+
+See https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js+Locale for full examples.
+
+```JS
+// Date to date string (long)
+>require('locale').date(new Date())
+="Donnerstag, 02. April 2020"
+
+// Date to date string (short)
+>require('locale').date(new Date(),1)
+="02.04.2020"
+```
+
+Bangle.js has a `locale` library built in that is just a standard
+British English (`en_GB`) localisation - so you can use `locale`
+in your apps without requiring users to have this Language library 
+installed.

+# Notifications (default)
+
+A handler for displaying notifications that displays them in a bar at the top of the screen
+
+This is not an app, but instead it is a library that can be used by
+other applications or widgets to display messages.
+
+## Usage
+
+```JS
+options = {

+  size : int, // height of notification, default 80 (max)  
+  title : string, // optional title
+  src : string, // optional source name
+  body : string, // optional body text
+  icon : string, // optional icon (image string)
+  render function(y) {} // function callback to render
+};
+// eg... show notification
+require("notify").show({title:"Test", body:"Hello"});
+// remove it (can also be removed by tapping)
+require("notify").hide();
+```
