Language Tags

Language tags can be used to add multi-language support to web and mobile applications.

Text Dictionary

The Text Dictionary is a powerful, convenient way to build multi-lingual mobile and web applications.

Multi-Language Support in Mobile Apps

Adding multi-language support for an offline-enabled iOS or Android mobile application cannot be done using Language tags or Text Dictionary tags since these tags are resolved by the Alpha Anywhere Application Server, requiring an Ajax Callback. This article explains how to add multi-language support in an offline application.
