Application default language

[Marek_Š_]

Hi,

when I submit my application to Windows store, its description is allowed only for "default language". I cannot find such a setting in build setup. Is there a way, how to change / specify application's "default language" or how to add more "supported" languages? I need it only for the Windows store purpose as I handle multilanguage support by i18n library.

This feature is associated to native applications developed in Visual Studio with standard UI components such as text labels and others. Since you are creating a Hybrid HTML5 application which is viewable via a webview, you are not bound to these constraints. I recommend using the HTML5 geolocation features to determine the user's location and set all of the appropriate text to the respective language.

Thanks Elroy for your comment. Unfortunately I am afraid this is what I am looking for - I don't have problem with my application - what to display and when to display it. The issue is with Microsoft developer portal when submitting my application - Microsoft parses the uploaded file and based on "supported languages" it allows me to create store descriptions. Currently it shows only English - so I cannot create MS store records different for e.g. German or Spanish users as no such an option is on MS developer site - and it's because it doesn't find these "supported languages" in my uploaded build.

I hope it makes more sense now.

I understand your request. Currently, Intel XDK and it's build system doesn't providing the necessary configurations for enabling Microsoft Store to list your application description in another language. I will escalate your issue to our Build team.
