Setting a Language

You can set the SDK language using this API. By default, the device's preferred language is used by the SDK.

The call will fail in the following cases:

• If a Helpshift session is already active at the time of invocation
• Language code is incorrect

For example :

Objective-C Example

Definition	setLanguage:
Example Code	[Helpshift setLanguage:"fr"]; where @"fr" is the language code. You can also pass a language code and a country code like: [Helpshift setLanguage:@"zh-SG"];

Swift Example

Definition	setLanguage()
Example Code	Helpshift.setLanguage("fr") where "fr" is the language code. You can also pass a language code and a country code like: Helpshift.setLanguage("zh-SG");

Here's a screenshot of how SDK will look after setting the language to French.

Note

• The default language is set to English (en) i.e. if you don't set any language using the setLanguage: API, SDK will use English language.
• All language codes are case-sensitive.
