Set localization options
To test a localized version of your app, you can configure timezone, language and locale for your appium tests.
Timezone
You can set the device timezone in order to configure your tests to run on a custom timezone.
| Capability | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
browserstack.timezone |
Configure tests to run on a custom time zone. |
Example: New_York (for America/New_York) Los_Angeles (for America/Los_Angeles) La_Rioja (for America/Argentina/La_Rioja) You can view the complete list of timezones on wikipedia. |
Example
desired_caps = {
'browserstack.timezone': 'UTC'
}
DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("browserstack.timezone", "UTC");
desired_cap = {
'browserstack.timezone': 'UTC'
}
var capabilities = {
'browserstack.timezone': 'UTC'
}
DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.SetCapability("browserstack.timezone", "UTC");
$capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
$capabilities->setCapability("browserstack.timezone", "UTC");
Note: Timezone feature is only supported on Android
Language
In order to test the localized version of your app, you can set a language using Appium’s language capability. This capability will only affect the application under test and not the device.
| Capability | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
language |
Set the language of the app under test. | Example: ‘fr’ |
Example
desired_caps = {
'language': 'fr'
}
DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("language", "fr");
desired_cap = {
'language': 'fr
}
var capabilities = {
'language': 'fr'
}
DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.SetCapability("language", "fr");
$capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
$capabilities->setCapability("language", "fr");
Locale
In order to test the localized version of your app, you can set the device locale using Appium’s locale capability.
| Capability | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
locale |
Set locale for iOS and Android. |
Android: CA format (country name abbreviation) iOS: fr_CA format |
Example
desired_caps = {
'locale': 'fr_CA'
}
DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("locale", "fr_CA");
desired_cap = {
'locale': 'fr_CA'
}
var capabilities = {
'locale': 'fr_CA'
}
DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.SetCapability("locale", "fr_CA");
$capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
$capabilities->setCapability("locale", "fr_CA");
