Setting the Locale

The SDK will automatically use the current locale of your user's device, however, you can override it with the following method.

import Instabug, { Locale } from 'instabug-reactnative';

Instabug.setLocale(Locale.french);

Here are the possible locale values.

Locale.arabic
Locale.azerbaijani
Locale.chineseSimplified
Locale.chineseTraditional
Locale.czech
Locale.danish
Locale.dutch
Locale.english
Locale.french
Locale.german
Locale.italian

Locale.romanian
Locale.russian
Locale.spanish
Locale.swedish
Locale.turkish
Locale.korean

Dashboard Language
At the moment, the Instabug dashboard only supports English. Changing the SDK locale will not change the language of your dashboard.

Overriding String Values

You can also override each string shown to your users individually using the following method.

Instabug.setString("Please enter a correct email address", StringKey.invalidEmailMessage);

Here are the possible key values.

StringKey.addAttachmentButtonTitleStringName
