## Customize App
Stirling PDF allows easy customization of the visible application name.
Simply use environment variables APP_HOME_NAME, APP_HOME_DESCRIPTION and APP_NAVBAR_NAME with Docker or Java.
If running Java directly, you can also pass these as properties using -D arguments.
Using the same method you can also change the default language by providing APP_LOCALE with values like de-DE fr-FR or ar-AR to select your default language (Will always default to English on invalid locale)
