Multilanguage Apps
We released two components that let you better support an international community. The first is localization which will get the locale information (works okay in web/PWA, really well in Native) and the second is the multi-language translator which will translate all the text and placeholders in your app.
You can install it here: PragmaFlow Adalo Toolkit

Hi! Thanks for your components! Seems like there must be a bug comwhereā¦
I have tried to use translations component and made everything exactly like in your video.
I had setup just for one english word Today and itās translations in Ukrainian and Russian.
For some weird reason on tarhet scrren with this word all text elements and all buttons went blank. They had completly other names, no one had the word Today in it, so that is weird.
I managed to restore textes only after I discontinued Link action to Translations loader screenā¦
Hey at @Tim_Mc
This is really an awesome plugin, and i want to start using it right away. I have a few questions:
Before I get stuck into translating a lot of screens, I would just like to know whats the best way to go about it.
Thanks a million guys! Amazing work - keep it up
Finally, would it be hard to set up/create a plugin to auto pull āall text used in the appā from the screens that we could simply export CSV and Reupload with the translations?
We have added a new section to our site to help in translations. It is located here
Manā¦ are you for real?? This is like some super power adalo stuff right thereā¦ I just tried your link and was able to export all 1,500 translations in like 15 secondsā¦ exactly what I was looking! Wow!! Thank you
@iAppsNi,
In answer to your questions, we have responded to them one at a time with the following
Answer.
This only works on text that you enter yourself, not internal Adalo stuff or external sources
Answer
No, perhaps in the future, but that is Adalo internal stuff so out of respect I donāt touch their code
Answer
That is correct, it searches for text, placeholders, and labels then updates them using the database key text
Answer
Yes, the only thing that will change from a small to a very big app is the āloadingā time. In the video we showed adding a Translation page with a lottie file. On small apps this will be short, on large apps it will be longer. How long? not sure
Answer
No, this will not slow down the app once the app is loaded.
Absolutely incredible work. That CSV exporter is going to make this plugin so useful! Thanks for your answers also, great stuff. Fingers crossed there may be a quick way in the future to pull adalo visible text! For now Iām more than happy to make do! Iām going to grab this CSV, run it through integromat with Google Translate and test the speed. WIll let you know 
@Tim_Mc worked a treat!! And Really quick!
I ran into a couple of small issues mainly with special characters in the CSV as Adalo didnt read correctly, But saving as CSV UTF-8 fixed all of those issues.
Anyone looking to translate using this awesome plugin, convert your entire app in about 10mins with google translate + pragmaflow translate pluginā¦ You could use integromat etcā¦ but the below worked perfectly for me!
Iāll likely load it up onto fiverr.com for a verified check by a translation pro.
Well done guys!
Just for the record, it is not that we canāt translate and localize everything in the app, it is that we have been asked (indirectly) not to. Doing it is easy, releasing it to the public is politics.
