Localization

To localize your survey and invitation, you must add locale-specific folders for each supported language. Localizations for the ForeSee^® SDK are usually stored in the res/values and res/raw folders. Therefore, you must add suffixed folders for each language, e.g., res/values-fr for French and res/raw-es for Spanish, as well as having a 'base' folder (res/raw, res/values) for unsupported languages. Once these are in place, you are ready to begin localization.

Localizing Your Survey

To show a different survey for each locale, you must provide a specific configuration file for each. To allow for language-based configurations, a copy of your foresee_configuration.json file must be placed in each of the language-specific folders mentioned above (i.e., res/raw-fr/foresee_configuration.json, res/raw-es/foresee_configuration.json), as well as a base configuration (res/raw/foresee_configuration.json).

In most cases, these configurations are identical apart from the Survey ID (SID). Each SID links to a different language version of the survey. Before you can provide surveys in different languages, you must inform us so we can create the surveys in the languages you require and link each to the corresponding SID for you.

Localizing Your Invitation

You can customize the text in the default invitation by defining strings in the res/values/strings.xml file. Each invite mode has a set of strings to customize. Localizations are included with the SDK for European French, French Canadian, European Spanish, American Spanish, European Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, and German. To localize the text for other languages, use the res folder suffixes mentioned above (e.g., res/values-tr/strings.xml for Turkish localization) as well as a base configuration (res/values/strings.xml) if you intend to alter the default English invitation text.

Keys generally indicate which screens and invitation modes the string appears on. The following keys are defined:
