Draft Mode & On-Device Testing

How to view draft translations directly on-device, in an integrated app.

Steffen Römer 
Written by Steffen Römer
Updated over a week ago

Before publishing new translations, Applanga users should extensively test the translations in the app itself, commonly referred to as on-device testing. Testing can be easily accomplished with the Applanga Draft Mode. Draft Mode allows users to see Applanga dashboard Draft values for a given string in an app without the need to generate a dedicated testing build or any delay from the moment a Draft value is added on the dashboard.

(Note: The Applanga SDK also uploads missing strings when the app is set to Draft Mode (or when the app is connected to the debugger.)

Draft Mode is by default enabled for integrated apps; however, it can be disabled at any time in the Project Settings page. The Draft mode can be disabled in the Project Settings.
