Hello Zendesk Team, 

Based on the localizing text I can see how to customise or add a specific localization in the Unified SDK. I am just wondering if you provide an easy option to switch off the localisation or to set the language programmatically instead? 

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks

Hi Paul,

On the Unified SDK, we don't provide an API to stop localization at runtime. You need override all of the values in the Localizable.strings file I'm afraid. Sorry there's no faster way to do this.

 You can permanently enable and lock Location Services on Android devices, over-the-air using MDM. In case of iOS devices, you must have the device in hand to permanently enable Location Services, as Apple doesn't allow location services from being turned-off over-the-air to protect user privacy.

To obtain the most recent device location, the organizations must enable Location Services on the devices at all times. But many users tend to disable the Location Services on devices either to reduce battery consumption or to avoid displaying the device location for privacy reasons. Mobile Device Manager Plus lets you know the current device location in near real-time and also the device location over a period of time. Additionally, it allows organizations to permanently keep Location Services on and prevent location services from being turned off or disabled on iPhone and Android devices.

Apart from tracking the device location, MDM allows admins to perform various remote actions like corporate wipe, remote alarm based on the current device location.
