Preview Translation Feature

The Preview Translation feature allows app operators to preview the translated version of the app without publishing the changes. This feature is particularly useful for verifying translation quality and ensuring the layout of the translated app is correct before making the changes public.

How It Works​

When the Preview Translation feature is enabled, the SDK behaves as follows:

  • End users see the published translations. These are the translations made public after clicking the Save and Publish button in the Wovn Dashboard.
    End users see the published translations

  • App operators see the saved translations. These are the translations saved but not yet published, which can be previewed after clicking the Save button in the Wovn Dashboard.
    App operators see the saved translations

How to Enable Preview Translation​

To enable the Preview Translation feature, follow these steps:

  1. Enable Debug Mode for Test Devices
    Refer to the Debug Mode Documentation for instructions on enabling debug mode on test devices.

  2. Update the wovn.properties File
    Add translation_preview_mode=true to the wovn.properties file:

    token=YOUR_WOVN_PROJECT_TOKEN
    translation_preview_mode=true

  3. Remove and Reinstal the App Save the changes to the wovn.properties file and reinstall the app.
