Localizations
2 minutes to readLocalization control the language and culture of your applications so you can create applications that communicate in the language of its audience and display numbers, dates, etc. according to the local standards.
Caspio provides a selection of popular localization templates that are fully customizable. Additionally, you can create new Localizations in other languages.
You assign Localization to DataPages during DataPage creation and editing processes.
Localized Text
- Messages – Errors, warnings and other messages that appear in your DataPages. Examples include “This field is required.” In forms, “No records found” in a Search and Report, etc.
- Buttons – Button captions such as “Submit” on Submission Forms, “Search” on search forms, and “Add” on Results Pages.
- Label and Markers – Labels for record navigations, aggregation such as total, average, record paging, etc.
- Record Actions – Include links that appear on Results Pages, such as “View Details” or “Edit”.
Time Zones
In Localization you can specify a time zone which will be used when timestamping records. You can set either an account time zone or a customized one. If you use a localization template, it will automatically apply the default time zone associated with that specific localization. Below is the list of all available default time zones:
Time zone | Standard |
---|---|
Chinese | China Standard Time |
Dutch | Western Europe Standard Time |
English (UK) | GMT Standard Time |
English | Pacific Standard Time |
French | Romance Standard Time |
German | Western Europe Standard Time |

<meta charset=”UTF-8″>
