CSS Selector

In some cases, the language is displayed on the user interface of the application as an option that can be selected, either via choosing a country or language initials.

URL Query

A query string specifies values for parameters in a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). If your application’s language is stored in an URL query, provide the name of the URL query parameter, which holds the language value.

1. Enter the value into the corresponding area of the Adopt Console

2. Click Apply to apply the settings

Note: Please note that the language value should be provided as a lower case with two digits country code. For example, sk - for Slovak language or en- for the English language. All other formats used would lead to Adopt not being able to read the language properly. Some invalid examples to avoid: en-US, English, ENG.

URL Regex

You can as well guide Adopt to read it from your application’s URL. by using regular expressions (regex). Read more here.

For example, <<app_domain>>/(.*) will match "en" language from <<app_domain>>/en URL"

That means, https://www.example.com/(.*) will determine language as a series of characters coming after https://www.example.com/
