Messages

The Messages feature manages customized locale messages, which is useful for using custom labels in forms to adhere to specific locales. After configuring your messages, see Hash Variable - App Message to append the i18n labels in your app.

To access this feature's menu:

1. Click App Messages in the left sidebar.

Key Features:

• Import PO File: Import a .po file into the app.
• Generate PO File: Generate a .po file for the selected locale in the app.
• Add New Key: Add your custom message key and value to the app.

Add Messages and PO Files

Manage your app-specific translations by importing or generating .po files and adding new translation keys directly within the app or through the Form Builder.

• Import PO File: Importing a .po file generated from Generate PO File allows you to load custom translations into your app quickly.
• Generate PO File: Export a selected locale into a .po file.

There are two ways to export .po files:

• • Form Builder
    
    

  • App Messages
