Language switching method and device for application program

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a language switching method and device of an application program, only a preset language type of an APP is stored on electronic equipment, and when the presetlanguage type is inconsistent with a system language type of an operating system of the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment obtains an address from a business server, wherein the address isthe storage address of the resource file corresponding to the system language type, downloading the resource file from the resource server according to the address and displaying the APP according tothe resource file, thereby switching the language of the APP from the preset language type to the system language type. In the process, the resource files corresponding to various types of languagessupported by the APP are stored in the resource server, so that the workload of research and development personnel is reduced, a user is prevented from continuously downloading and updating the APP, the flow consumption of the user is reduced, the size of an installation package of the APP is reduced to a certain extent, and the flow consumed when the user downloads the APP is relatively low.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and device for language switching of application programs. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of communication technology, the functions of electronic devices are constantly improving, and more and more applications (APP) are loaded on electronic devices. Various applications have penetrated into people's daily life, providing users with convenience and entertainment etc. [0003] In order to meet the needs of different users, the APP is usually required to support multiple languages, and the language can be switched according to the needs of users to achieve international language support. At present, in order to realize APP language switching, R&D personnel create language pack folders corresponding to different languages ​​under the res directory of the APP system files, and write strings of corresponding lang...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the language switching method of the above APP, before the APP version is released, the R&D personnel are required to preset all the language types to be adapted in the APP installation package. If the language needs to be updated, such as adding a new language or modifying the existing If you modify the language pack folder, you need to release a new version, which leads to a heavy workload for developers and requires users to update the APP frequently, which consumes traffic. Moreover, because a large number of language pack files are preset in the APP installation package folder, resulting in a huge size of the APP installation package, and downloading the huge APP will cause a large user traffic consumption
