Remove a locale from the project
AI agents call smartling_remove_locale_from_project to permanently remove resources in Smartling MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Removing a locale from a project is a destructive action: it permanently deletes the locale's association with the project, which could result in loss of translation workflows, job assignments, and locale-specific settings. This is not easily reversible without re-adding and reconfiguring everything, and the blast radius is high given it could impact multilingual content delivery across an entire locale.
From the tool's definition 'Remove a locale from the project' — removing a locale is an irreversible operation that eliminates all locale-specific configuration and potentially associated translation data from the project.
