Manage the translations

  1. Hover over the required language, then click the  Translate  button.
  2. Manage the translations in the  Translate  pane:
    • If you had opted to use Google Translate for that language, app elements' labels will already be translated. You may still edit them as required.
    • If you had opted to manually translate to that language, you must enter translations for all elements. You may also enable  Auto translate  and make use of Google Translate.
    • Enabling  Auto translate  ensures that the translations for the changes in your app, such as addition of fields and renaming of labels, are automatically handled.
  3. Click  Save .


When you have customized  section  labels for phone and tablet
  • When you have customized section labels for phone, an additoinal segment titled  Mobile Sections  will be displayed last in the  Translate  pane, as shown below. The translations you set for phone will automatically be set for tablet as well.

Set the language in which your users are to access your app

  • English : Your app will be shown in English
  • User's browser language :
    • When a user accesses from a web browser, your app will be shown in their browser's language
    • When a user accesses from a mobile device, your app will be shown as per their device's locale
    • Web browsers and mobile devices are capable of translating the labels in your apps by themselves.  Your translations , if present, will be displayed instead of the browser/device's.
  • Users' Zoho account language :
