How to Setup Locale and Language

You can also configure both locale and language during Espresso test execution for a seamless user experience in diverse linguistic and regional contexts of your app.

Language

To test a localized version of your app on LambdaTest, use the language parameter in the Espresso test execution API request. This allows you to change the language of the application under test.

Parameter	Description	Values
language	Set the language of the app under test	Example: ‘hi’

Locale

To test a localized version of your app on LambdaTest, use the locale parameter in the Espresso test execution API request. This allows you to set the locale for the application under test.

Parameter	Description	Values
locale	Set locale for the app under test	Example: IN (Country name abbreviation)

For Example:

curl --location --request POST 'https://mobile-api.lambdatest.com/espresso/v1/build' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <Enter_Basic_Auth>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "app" : "app_id",
    "testSuite": "testsuite_id",
    "device" :  ["Galaxy S20-10"],
    "queueTimeout": 360,
    "IdleTimeout": 150,
    "deviceLog": true,
    "build" : "Proverbial-Espresso",
    "language": "fr",
    "locale": "CA"
}'

note

• Ensure that both the language and locale parameters are passed simultaneously in the API request.
• App should support the language and locale mentioned in the API request to work.
• For espresso sharding tests, you have to mention this in the .yaml file.
