Internationalization
Helpshift iOS SDK comes with support for 47 languages out of the box with English as the default. To enable the available languages, simply drag & drop the HsLocalization.bundle to your project. The Helpshift SDK will be localized based on the user’s device language. This can be set by going to General → Language & Region → iPhone Language. If the user’s device language is not available, English will be used as default.
If the end-user has a language already set for their device (via Settings->General->International->Language) the correct language translations will be used. If the said language is not available English will be used as default.

Localization setup
The Helpshift localized strings come bundled in the DLL. If you have already integrated an older version of the SDK, we would recommend
removing the HSLocalization folder.
To customize the localzied strings, follow these steps.
Set SDK language
You can set the SDK language using the method HelpshiftApi.HelpshiftCore.SetLanguage
For Example :
Setting SDK language for the given locale with only language code.
HelpshiftApi.HelpshiftCore.SetLanguage("fr");
