Localization

Timezones

All timezones in the Uber API are expressed in UTC Epoch and it is the responsibility of the client to localize.

Currency

Currency is returned in the local value of a given latitude & longitude. A fare estimate in San Francisco is displayed in USD, while a fare estimate in Paris is displayed in EUR. The ISO 4217 currency code is also provided for your own conversions.

Language negotiation

The Uber API respects an Accept-Language header given by the client for languages for which we support translations. We support Section 14.4 of RFC 2616. We will return a Content-Language response header with the content’s localization.

Supported locales

The Uber API, mobile website, and mobile applications support a variety of languages and locales specified via standard Accept-Language headers. We continue to add more languages as we add more locales. The following locales are currently supported:
