# supportedLocale(equivalentTo:)

A locale from the module’s supported locales equivalent to the given locale.

## Declaration

```swift
static func supportedLocale(equivalentTo locale: Locale) async -> Locale?
```

## Parameters

- `locale`: An arbitrary locale.

## Return Value

Return Value A locale in the supported locales list, or nil if there is no equivalent locale in that list.

## Discussion

Discussion Use this method to determine which of this module’s supported locales is equivalent to an arbitrary locale such as Locale.current. Use this method instead of supportedLocales.contains(_:); two locales may be equivalent but not equal, and contains(_:) uses equality rather than equivalence.
