Localize microapps

Citrix Workspace Microapps allows you to export and import translated JSON files for the purposes of localization. With microapp localization options you can export these files, edit them with the required localized language and import the localized microapp file back into the microapp platform for use by your microapp users.

Localization currently only supports a defined set of languages:

  • English (default, fall back language for microapp)
  • Chinese (simplified)
  • Dutch
  • French
  • German
  • Japanese
  • Spanish
  • Brazilian Portuguese
  • Italian

Extra language support will be added in future updates. Once a microapp is localized to your desired language, the language is displayed based of the end user’s browser locale.

Using the localization feature for your microapps involves the following:

  1. Export your desired microapp configuration file.
  2. Edit the file and translate the entities to the required language.
  3. Import the translated file back into the microapp platform.

Export files for translation

To export a localization file, open the microapp edit screen by selecting the relevant microapp’s hamburger button.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Localization in the left column

    The Localization page opens that displays all the currently localized languages. Page showing localization language import and export.

  4. Select Export

    The JSON files download to your local machine.

Working with localization files

You can then open and edit the desired localization JSON file with your preferred text editor and once ready, save the file in the JSON format ready for import back to the microapp admin console.

Import localization

When you have prepared your localized JSON files, import them back into the microapp platform.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select import.
