Customizing your Language

i18n file customization lets you update the strings displayed on your meeting room display. You can download an example i18n file (English), and use it to make your desired changes. Then, paste the result in your display configuration to see changes in real time.

This allows you to modify any of the strings visible in the display app.

Examples and Existing Translations

We have put together a repository to consolidate translations as they are requested or contributed.
