Multi-Language

Be closer to your audience by talking to users in their native language

Creating multi-language messages

One of the unique features of Pushwoosh is the ability to send multi-language messages within a single push. This allows you to create several versions of your message to overcome language barriers, especially useful for multi-national apps.

The implementation is straightforward. Pushwoosh automatically detects the most common language among your users and sets it as the Default language in the Push Content form. Additionally, you can create messages in other languages to reach users with different language preferences.

For example, if your default language is English but you want to reach Spanish and German speakers as well, simply add those languages to your push notification. Users with Spanish or German phone settings will then receive the message in their preferred language, while others will see the default English version.

To add additional languages, click the Plus sign at the top of the editor. A list of languages will appear, allowing you to choose the ones you need for your push notification.

You can add languages that are already in your user base as well as those that are not currently present. This is particularly useful if you’re planning to enter a new region.

Next, create push content for each language you've chosen. Learn more

Do not forget about the payload limitations for some of the platforms! Different languages are using different alphabets, and while your English version may fit in nicely, the push in Arabic text may exceed iOS quota.

Language Code Standard

Language tag value is a lowercase two-letter code according to the ISO-639-1. Devices with Language tag values inconsistent with the ISO-639-1 will receive the push message with default language localization.

This feature is also available in our API as a parameter of the createMessage request:

  "content": {
        "en": "HelloWorld!",
        "es": "¡HolaMundo!"
    },
