+        - value: "productivity"
+          label: "Productivity & Focus"  # Optional, defaults to value
+          description: "Productivity agents."
+```
+
+#### Localized labels and descriptions
+
+`label` and `description` are displayed verbatim unless they start with `com_`, in which case the client resolves them as UI translation keys and renders the string for each user's own language. Omitting `label` displays `value` exactly as typed, in every locale.
+
+```yaml
+list:
+  - value: "support"
+    label: "com_agents_category_aftersales"              # localized per user
+    description: "com_agents_category_aftersales_description"
+  - value: "Education"                                   # shown as "Education" everywhere
+    description: "Educational agents."
+```
+
+<Callout type="warning">
+  A `com_` key must already exist in LibreChat's bundled locale files. Unknown keys are rendered
+  literally, so a typo shows up in the UI as `com_agents_category_typo` rather than falling back to
+  the category name.
+</Callout>
+
+#### Overriding built-in categories
+
+Declaring a `value` that matches a built-in category overrides that category's `label` and `description` instead of creating a new one. Fields you omit keep their existing values, so declaring only `value` changes nothing but visibility.
+
+An overridden category stays a built-in: it keeps its original position in the marketplace, is never deleted when removed from `list`, and remains active even when `enableDefaultCategories` is `false`. That last point is how you keep a subset of the built-in categories while hiding the rest.
+
+```yaml filename="interface / marketplace / categories"
+interface:
+  marketplace:
+    use: true
+    categories:
+      enableDefaultCategories: false   # hide the built-in categories...
+      list:
+        - value: "aftersales"          # ...except this one, renamed and kept visible
+          label: "Customer Success"
+        - value: "Education"
+          description: "Educational agents."
+```
+
+> **Note:** Removing a custom category from `list` deletes it from the database on the next startup. Built-in categories are never deleted, `enableDefaultCategories: false` only hides them.
+
+> **Note:** The `general` category stays active even when `enableDefaultCategories` is `false`, because it is the category assigned to agents created without one. Hiding it would leave those agents reachable only from the "All" tab. You can still rename it by declaring `general` in `list`.
