App localization
Mobile apps can be designed to display localized texts based on the language selected on the device.
Application locale definition
Make sure that your application locale is defined properly for development and deployment environments.
For more details, see Quickstart guide for locale settings.
Using localized strings
Localized string files (.42s) must be deployed in directories matching the
language identifiers (en
for English, zh_TW
for simplified
Chinese, etc), beside the program module.
Default string files can be provided in APPDIR/defaults as fallback directory, if the current mobile language does not match one of the language-specific directories provided by the application.
The list of .42s
files required by the application must be defined in the unique
fglprofile configuration file located beside the program module of your
application.
For more details, see Localized string files on mobile devices and Deploying mobile apps.
Querying user's preferred language
The application can get the user's preferred language and regional settings as configured on the
mobile device, by using the standard.feInfo
front call with the
userPreferredLang
argument.
For more details, see User's preferred language and feInfo.
