Can I pick the language for my testers?

Add ?lang=ur (or hi, bn, id, es, ar, en) to the link. Otherwise the phone's language decides, and the tester can change it at the bottom of the page.

No. It is on every plan, and on links uploaded without an account too.

Your testers read the install steps in their own language

Every plan, also without an account

Many testers are clients, shop staff or family members, not developers. "Allow installs from this browser" or "this build only runs on registered devices" is hard enough in your first language. The install page now speaks theirs.

The language comes from the phone's settings. A tester can switch at the bottom of the page, and the choice is remembered on that browser.

How it works

Step 1
Share the link as usual
Nothing to set up. Every install link and channel link has the languages built in.
Step 2
The phone picks the language
Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Indonesian, Spanish or Arabic when the phone uses it, English otherwise.
Step 3
Testers can switch
A language menu sits at the bottom of the page. Urdu and Arabic read right to left.

What is translated

The install button and steps, the notes about devices and Google Play copies, the password and private build forms, build details, release note headings, the channel page and the page footer. Your app name and release notes stay as you wrote them.

Good to know

Messages written by AppForShare's servers, such as a refused build, are still in English.
Your dashboard and emails are in English.
