Localization

• It is about having key:value pair dictionary which can change on change of language.
• We should not localize dynamic values coming from the API
• Localization of following should be done:
  • Static values/Labels: Need to do in mobile app side locally
  • Dynamic values from API: Need to get the values directly from the API

Localization in the API

• We can send Accept-Language header with language values
• for example:
  • Accept-Language: en-US
• The logic could be a best match which calculate the language which should be returned
• If there is no match, we can send default en-US from the API

Region and Language

• Examples:
  • en-US (English-US)
  • es-ES (Espanol-Espana)
  • fr-FR (Francais-France)
