Hello

I'm developing an app in Belgium for both Flemish and Walloon people. Therefor I added both French and Dutch as languages. However, French doesn't seem to work. When setting my phone to Français (Belgique), I get the English translations instead.

How do I configure the languages so that the French translations are used when the phone is set to French in Belgium? I would prefer no to have to ask everyone to switch to Français (France).

Any help would me much appreciated!

Hi,

if I understand correctly, when the phone is set to francais (Belgique),
you want the FRENCH (nationFrench) wlanguage setting to be triggered.

Well, that, you will hav to code for... one is FR/BE the other FR/FR.

So what you need to do is use a small JAVA (if android) or C (if iOS)
procedure to get the phone language, and based on that, do the
appropriate nation in your project init code...

-OR- you can simply offer a menu/wizard when starting your app the firt
time and offer the choice.

Best regards

Thank you very much for your help!!

I managed to get it working by asking the users to choose a language the first time they login and remembering their choice.
I tried the JAVA code first but I couldn't get it to work. I'm very new to this environment and don't have a lot of room for experimenting, so I went with the solutions that I knew how to build.

Thanks again for responding so quickly!!

Kind regards
