Localizing text
Localizing text
This page shows you how to localize or customize strings in the SDK UI.
Strings in the Unified SDK are localized into the following 33 languages. They are listed in supported languages below.
Note: If you change the locale programmatically during the runtime of the application, the change won't be applied to the UI element. The UI element relies solely on the device locale. To change the UI element, you must restart the application to update the locale of the device itself.
List of localized strings
To change the default strings in your application, add replacements for the following strings. Make sure to include placeholders in the replacements of any strings that contain them.
