Localization for App and Web Messages

We added localization support for the Message composer and the /push and /schedules APIs. Now you can add multiple localizations in the same dashboard message or API payload. Airship uses language and country information gathered by the SDK to determine the localized content that each user in your audience should receive, ensuring that your users get the version of your message that best speaks to them.

When adding localizations to your message, you will also create a Default message — a message that Airship sends to anybody in your audience who does not match the languages or localesThe combination of a language and country. A user’s locale is determined by their device settings. that you specify in your message. The default message helps you reach your entire audience even if you aren’t able to translate your message into all of your audience’s possible languages.

Localization support is seamlessly integrated with our App and Web messaging features:

• Apps: Localize push notifications, in-app messages, and/or Message Center messages. In the Message composer you can even combine message types to maximize visibility.
• Web: Localize web push notifications to better connect with your site’s users.
• Delivery Scheduling: Schedule messages using the Optimize or Delivery by Time Zone options, to support your users in the right language and at the right time.
• Dashboard Support: Send localized messages using the Message or In-App Automation composers.
• API Support: Send an array of localizations as a part of a /push or /schedules payload.
