App Language Change

Overview

In today's global, and multicultural, economy many users want to use their apps in their native languages. A new feature, released in pCloudy called "App Language Change", enables users to change the language in the installed application while testing the app.

Note: In both cases(Android and iOS) apps language will change only when installed apps support multiple languages.

Important Note:

This feature will work on both Android and iOS platforms. For Android devices, the device language will be changed and once the app is installed (if that app supports language change) then the installed app will appear in the language that is selected for the device.

For iOS devices, the pre-installed apps language will be changed in only those apps that support language change. In iOS you need to select a region as some apps behave differently based upon different regions.

Prerequisite:

User should be registered on the pCloudy platform
