# Choose Business Language

`PATCH /v1/teams/{team_id}/stations`

Choose what the whole board reads, or hand it back to the location.

ONE WORD IN THE BUSINESS'S OWN RECORD — `language:` in the root `_meta.md`,
beside the `timezone:` it overrides. Not a browser preference: every
person's board and the agent that writes this shop's pages read the same
file, so a choice made once is a choice made for the business. `null`
takes the word OUT (absence, never `language: auto`), and the language
follows the location again.

## Path parameters

- `team_id` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `authorization` string, nullable
- `x-darwin-token` string, nullable

## Request body

- BusinessLanguage — The board's language, chosen: a tag, or null to follow the location.
  - `language` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- BusinessPlace — Where the business is and what it reads — the two facts the board is dressed in (`frontend/src/kit-ui/lib/words.ts`, owner 2026-09-24: "based on LOCATION!"). `timezone` is the RESOLVED clock, so a zone the agent only proposed or the owner declined picks no language either. `language` is a choice written on top of the location: a tag, or absent when the location decides.
  - `timezone` string, nullable
  - `language` string, nullable
