## Definition and Usage
The `toLocaleLowerCase()` method converts a string to lowercase letters, based on the host's locale.
The locale is determined by the browser's language setting.
Typically, this method returns the same result as the [toLowerCase()](#) method, except for a few languages (like Turkish) that have locale-specific case mappings.
**Note:** The `toLocaleLowerCase()` method does not change the original string.
**Tip:** Use the [toLocaleUpperCase()](#) method to convert a string to uppercase letters based on the host's locale.
