SDK Locale
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.
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

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.
