Localization
Components to translate

Zoho Creator provides comprehensive localization capabilities that enable users to translate various components of their applications to suit different languages and regions. These localization capabilities apply to the following components:
1. Text on the screen: This refers to any text that is displayed on the interface of the application. This can include label names, tooltips, data entry field labels, and any other text required for user interaction. Users can translate this text to any supported language, making it easier for them to read and interact with the application.

2. Screen titles: These are the titles that appear on each screen or page of the application. Users can translate screen titles to their desired language, ensuring clear and seamless navigation through the application.
3. Button labels: These are the labels that appear on buttons within the application. Button labels can be translated so that users can clearly understand their purpose and function.
4. Instructions of human activities: Any instructions that guide the user on how to use the application can be translated. This includes onboarding instructions, help text, and any other instructional content that is displayed within the application.
5. Link text: The text used for links on the application can also be translated. This includes text for hyperlinks, anchor tags, and any other clickable elements within the application.
6. App section names: The names of sections within the application can be translated to suit the language and regional preferences of the user. This can include the names of tables, forms, reports, and any other sections within the application.
7. Messages displayed to the end user: Error messages, success messages, confirmation messages, and any other messages displayed to the user can be translated. This ensures that users can easily understand the feedback provided by the application.
Smart translation options
One of the key localization capabilities of Zoho Creator is its smart translation feature. This feature enables creators to convert app content from one language to another with ease and accuracy. This is possible because the platform relies on advanced algorithms that take into account the context, meaning, and usage of words and phrases. With smart translation, creators can ensure that the translated content is not only accurate but also relevant and appropriate for the target audience.

Customized auto-translations
In addition to smart translation, Zoho Creator also offers customized auto-translation features. This enables creators to create their own translation dictionaries and rules that are specific to their app and target audience. Creators can use this feature to translate industry-specific terminology, local slang, and idiomatic expressions that may not be easily understood by a general audience. This helps to improve the accuracy and relevance of the translated content, and also enhances the overall user experience of the app.
Right-to-left (RTL) layout
Another key localization capability of Zoho Creator is its support for right-to-left (RTL) layouts. This feature enables creators to create apps that are designed specifically for languages that are written from right to left, such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Urdu, among others. With RTL layout support, creators can ensure that the app layout, design, and text direction are aligned with the cultural expectations and preferences of the target audience. This helps to improve the readability and usability of the app, and also enhances the overall user experience.

Rebranding
Fully rebranded apps for all platforms
Zoho Creator offers the capability to fully rebrand apps for all platforms. This means that the logos, colors, and branding can be customized to suit the marketing requirements of your business and can be applied across various platforms, be it mobile or desktop. The end users of your app will not experience any disruption in the interface when they access it from different devices. The rebranding process can be seamlessly integrated by modifying the HTML and CSS code to match your business needs and maintain brand consistency.

Rapid launch with one-click deployment
Zoho Creator enables you to launch your app with one-click deployment. The deployment process is extremely simple and can be launched without any coding, as Zoho Creator is a low-code development platform. Additionally, the one-click deployment feature also ensures that the app can be updated quickly and without any hiccups. The app’s infrastructure is completely managed by Zoho Creator, which means you don’t have to worry about data backups, server security, or scaling up or down.

Forget infrastructure and focus on your apps
Zoho Creator takes care of all your infrastructure needs, which enables you to focus entirely on developing apps. This way, you don’t have to invest in server infrastructure, hire IT experts, or worry about security. Zoho Creator also handles all aspects of security, data backups, and scalability. This feature allows developers to focus on creating better and functional apps that solve business problems and drive growth within the organization.

Developer SDK to build custom functionality for your customers
Zoho Creator allows developers to create custom functionalities for their customers using the Developer SDK. This allows developers to expand on the features offered by Zoho Creator and enables them to build complex and scalable apps with ease. Developers can create custom functionalities and integrate third-party APIs and other software that caters to their business requirements.

Use your own domain
Zoho Creator provides the option to use your own domain, which enhances brand recognition and helps in creating a more professional online presence. By hosting on your own domain, the app will not have any visible traces of Zoho Creator branding, creating a more personalized experience for end users. Moreover, users will be able to access your app using a domain that they are already familiar with, making it easier for them to remember.

Strong authentication mechanisms
Zoho Creator prioritizes the security of your app and employs strong authentication mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access control (RBAC), and more. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access the app, and data access is restricted to the roles assigned to users. Additionally, Zoho Creator also provides session management and encryption to protect user data. The authentication mechanisms offered by Zoho Creator are compliant with various industry regulations and data protection laws, ensuring that your app is always protected.
