Now available in preview, model localization is supported for imported projects.

Now available in preview, model localization is supported for imported projects. By default, Looker uses the locale definitions from the importing project only, if the importing project has locale definitions. However, if you want to merge the locale definitions from an imported project with the locale definitions of the importing project, you can add the import_locale_defs: yesstatement to thelocalization_settings parameter in your importing project's manifest file. See the Localizing your LookML model documentation page for more information.
