+#### Filter Available Options
+In some projects you may want to filter the available locales shown in the admin UI selector. You can do this by providing a `filterAvailableLocales` function in your Payload Config. This is called on the server side and is passed the array of locales. This means that you can determine what locales are visible in the localizer selection menu at the top of the admin panel. You could do this per user, or implement a function that scopes these to tenants and more. Here is an example using request headers in a multi-tenant application:
+
+```ts
+// ... rest of payload config
+localization: {
+  defaultLocale: 'en',
+  locales: ['en', 'es'],
+  filterAvailableLocales: async ({ req, locales }) => {
+    if (getTenantFromCookie(req.headers, 'text')) {
+      const fullTenant = await req.payload.findByID({
+        id: getTenantFromCookie(req.headers, 'text') as string,
+        collection: 'tenants',
+        req,
+      })
+      if (fullTenant && fullTenant.supportedLocales?.length) {
+        return locales.filter((locale) => {
+          return fullTenant.supportedLocales?.includes(locale.code as 'en' | 'es')
+        })
+      }
+    }
+    return locales
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Since the filtering happens at the root level of the application and its result is not calculated every time you navigate to a new page, you may want to call `router.refresh` in a custom component that watches when values that affect the result change. In the example above, you would want to do this when `supportedLocales` changes on the tenant document.

 ## Field Localization
 
 Payload Localization works on a **field** level—not a document level. In addition to configuring the base Payload Config to support Localization, you need to specify each field that you would like to localize.
