Language Translations in Classic SDK User Interface
How do language translations work in Zendesk's Classic SDK user interface?
The Classic SDKs in Zendesk support a predefined set of languages by default. You can add your own language or variant by creating a custom string file for a specific locale. Alternatively, you can overwrite existing strings in your string.xml file to replace a particular language for iOS or Android. The interface locale is determined by your device's locale, and there is no SDK function to change it programmatically. To change the UI language, you must change the device locale and restart the app.
