Achievements screen localization

Hi, When GameCircle UI is called from our app then all the UI strings are not localized, English only. Achievements themselves are localized. According to this post the UI should be localized: https://forums.developer.amazon.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1270 Short description is empty for all the achievements. Please let me know if UI language is related to this account option: Your Account > Manage Your Kindle - Your Kindle Account - Optimized Storefront – Language «This setting will optimize the storefront on your Kindle in the language that you choose. Please note that this change will take up to 48 hours to take effect, and is only available for customers residing in the United States.» Side question: is in app purchase store UI interface language also affected? - Alexander

Hi Alexander, To see Achievements/Leaderboards Localization in your device you need to do below things - While creating Achievements/LeaderBoards "Add a Language" that you need (ex: Spanish). - Change the device default language that you need (ex : Spanish). Launch the app in your device to see Achievements/LeaderBoards in localization. P.S : If the language selected on device is not defined for Achievement/LeaderBoard then the default language English (U.S.) will be shown.

Yes, the steps were made to test the app localization. Please confirm achievements screen is supposed to be fully localized this case.

Hi Alex, Yes. The language set in the device, and same language version is available for the achievement, you should see achievements screen fully localized. From your first post I see you tried to change the language from your account settings in Amazon retail site. Game circle UI would take the language which is set in your device (settings->device->language). If still you get the screen not localized, please let us know which device you are testing on. Thanks.
