  The internationalization of the admin panel and the localization of documents are separate by design. Is this what you're referring to?

  Internationalization of the admin has many languages. For example, I would like only to have English and Français and expand the languages when my custom components get translated and ready to enter the target market in the relevant countries.

  
  

  
  

  I solved this by creating a custom Account view. My doubt about custom views is that PayloadCMS changes fast and breaks the custom views. My implementation uses "payload/dist/.." because the components are not exported yet.

  
  
  

  Can I rely on custom views, or is the payload customization not a safe option?

  I think it is safe-ish for now. I believe our roadmap has an item about exporting more components. Which you could then import from a path like ‘payload/components/…’ which will be more reliable for external use. This way we can move folders around but still ensure they export to the same place.

  
  
  

  But I do not see a time in our near future where key elements/views would need to be moved, so safe-ish is my answer for now.
