SDK Locale for Xamarin

This section covers how to change the language of the SDK as well as the content of all the messages that your users will see for Xamarin apps.

Setting the Locale

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

//iOS
Instabug.SetLocale(IBGLocale.English);

//Android
new Instabug.Builder(this, "YOUR_ANDROID_TOKEN")
            .SetInvocationEvent(InstabugInvocationEvent.Shake)
            .SetLocale(Locale.French)
						.Build();

Here are the possible locale values.

//iOS
IBGLocale.Arabic,
IBGLocale.ChineseSimplified
IBGLocale.ChineseTaiwan
IBGLocale.ChineseTraditional
IBGLocale.Czech
IBGLocale.Danish
IBGLocale.English
IBGLocale.French
IBGLocale.German
IBGLocale.Italian
IBGLocale.Japanese
IBGLocale.Korean
IBGLocale.Norwegian
IBGLocale.Polish
IBGLocale.Portugese
IBGLocale.PortugueseBrazil
IBGLocale.Russian
IBGLocale.Slovak
IBGLocale.Spanish
IBGLocale.Swedish
IBGLocale.Turkish

//Android

Dashboard Language

At the moment, the Instabug dashboard only supports English. Changing the SDK locale will not have an impact on the dashboard.

String Values

You can also override each string shown in the SDK individually to provide your own localization.

//iOS
Instabug.SetValue("Report a bug", IBGString.ReportBug);

//Android
InstabugCustomTextPlaceHolder placeHolder = new InstabugCustomTextPlaceHolder();
placeHolder.Set(InstabugCustomTextPlaceHolder.Key.ReportBug, "Report a new bug");
Instabug.SetCustomTextPlaceHolders(placeHolder);

Here are the possible key values.

What’s Next

The locale reflects on all aspects of the SDK. The language might be different, but you'll want to welcome your user either way. The bug reporting and prompt options will also change.
