You have been provided with two working examples in previous posts. Look again at how they work.

Simplify, do the translation for just one thing, on one screen, and get that working, then you can develop on from there.

here i am doing it for one label only but it is not working :sweat_smile: :slightly_frowning_face:

  1. You don't need to clear the tag in your afterSelecting event, simply storing the new value is enough.
  2. You don't call the translate procedure after you set the language ?

If you are going from Screen "settings" back to Screen1 (having come from Screen1), you need to use "close screen" not "go to another screen".

see also chapter "Some Notes" here https://puravidaapps.com/manager.php (thanks Taifun :wink: )

I have to assume you have changed the language in settings to Hindi, saved this to the tinydb, then gone to Screen1 or restarted the app ?

In companion, I can't get Yandex to change to change a Screen Title.....

41

yes therefore i have decided to not change the screen title

42

yes but there is a navigation bar that i have made for my app
from there also a user can open the "settings" Screen from any screen of the app

43

In which case the link I provided for switching screens is even more important!

45

@TIMAI2
there is a message that i want to show only once ,when the screen is opened for the first time
so what should i do?

46

@TIMAI2
i have made the changes according to the link
and after changing the language in settings now when we return to screen 1 the labels completely blank out :pensive:

47

these are working and changing the screens but still there is problem with translation

You can use the guide I created to translate the app in the most efficient and easy way, here:

If you are not building your application in kodular, you can use this extension (it can also be done with dictionaries):
