We’re delighted to see the continued growth and positive response to Canva Apps localization since we increased the limit earlier this year.
Based on your ongoing feedback and evolving needs, we’re excited to announce that the limit for localised messages per App has been increased to 500!
Thank you for continuing to make Canva accessible to users around the world.
@jes Questions on localization
Is localization now compulsory?
Noticed that there’s now an alert in the developer portal that says translation is required and to upload your app’s UI strings before submitting.
The docs still suggest that localization is optional and its currently not a required action in the App status section of the portal.
Our app also has dynamic text thats returned from an API, if it is compulsory, would this also be expected to be translated?
Hi @Tom
Thanks for confirming with us! That is correct, we have recently updated our documentation that now localization for apps is mandatory.
For dynamic text returned from an API, please refer to this guideline. Keen to understand further your specific usecase though if you don’t mind sharing (if the guideline is insufficient)!
