# Attribute string values

> An Attribute string value is the free-text value of an attribute string on products.

An **Attribute string value** is a value of an [Attribute string](/api/product-management/attribute-strings/) - the actual text. It references its `attribute`, carries a translatable `value`, and links the `products` that have that value.

## The Attribute string value object

## Common workflows

- **Set a value.** Create an attribute string value referencing its `attribute`, with the `value` text and the `products` it applies to.
- **Localize it.** Read or write the translatable `value` per locale with `X-Flowkiwi-Locale`.
