Localizing the UI

Introduction

This page shows you how to localize or customize strings in the SDK UI.

Strings in the Zendesk SDK are localized into 33 languages.

The strings contained in the SDK are only related to UI components. Any string that's part of the conversation screen is provided and/or translated by the Flow Builder, by an agent in the ticket, or by an integration.

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.
