Localization

This page describes details on localization options provided by Purchasely

The Purchasely Console lets you personalize your app in any language you want.

Let us look at different localization options.

App Localization:

When a new application is created in the Purchasely Console, you will be asked to choose the default language. Once you have chosen this language, you can't change it. This default language is automatically added to your paywall. The wording of the footer in the paywall will align with the language chosen under localization.


Paywalls Localization:

Paywalls can be localized in any number of languages. In order to add these languages to the paywall, you have to navigate to the

desired paywall-> Localization tab-> Press + -> From the list choose and add as many languages as you support in your application.

Once you have added these different languages, you have to fill the correct translations of all your copies in every language you have added.

By default, the images form the default language is transferred to the all the languages.
