Overriding locale

Airship uses the user’s LocaleThe combination of a language and country. A user’s locale is determined by their device settings. for various locale-sensitive tasks, including selecting the language for messages and reporting for analytics. Apps can override the locale so that Airship uses a different locale than the device’s current locale. Note: Airship UI localization uses the device’s current locale, so it is not affected by the override.

UAirship.shared().setLocaleOverride(new Locale("de"));

UAirship.shared().setLocaleOverride(Locale("de"));

UAirship.shared().setLocaleOverride(null);

UAirship.shared().setLocaleOverride(null);

Locale airshipLocale = UAirship.shared().getLocale();

val airshipLocale = UAirship.shared().locale;
