Before getting into learning something, we often wonder what’s the point of learning this. Let’s ask this same question for our topic.

Why do we need multi-lingual app?

We all use apps developed by people across the globe, ~6500 languages spoken around the globe. Yes, we can’t add support for all of these but there are some of the most widely used languages which we need to support when we write an app that’s going to be used by people across the globe.
English, Hindi, Russian, Spanish, German, French are few of them.

If we want to target people across different regions, it’s often considered best to show them your content in the language they prefer the most.

How do you decide which language to show?

You’ll feel a lot relaxed because you don’t need to decide which language to show. Android does it for you. All you have to do is add string of all the supported language and boom. let the Android do it’s work.
