July 2026: Security System - Expanded language support for DeadZone Android
Supporting multilingual teams is now easier in DeadZone Android. With additional language translations now available across the app, users can see the interface in their device’s configured language where supported, helping make the app easier to use across international and multilingual teams.
What it is and why it matters
DeadZone Android now includes expanded language support across the app interface.
Previously, guards and installation teams working in languages other than English may have been using an app experience that did not fully reflect their preferred language. This could make navigation less intuitive, slow down everyday tasks and increase the risk of errors.
With this update, the app can now automatically display supported translations based on the language configured on the user’s device. This creates a more accessible and consistent experience for multilingual workforces, helping users interact with the app more confidently and efficiently.
For organisations operating across multiple regions or sites with mixed-language teams, this supports better usability and a smoother day-to-day experience.
When to use this
This update is relevant for any site where DeadZone Android is used by multilingual teams.
It is particularly useful if you:
-
have guards or installation teams who prefer to work in a language other than English
-
operate across sites or regions with different language requirements
-
want to reduce usability issues caused by language barriers
-
need a more consistent experience for users working on shared operational workflows
Language display is based on each device’s system language settings, so the feature works best where devices are set up according to the user’s preferred working language.
How it works at a high level
DeadZone Android now supports additional interface translations.
When the app is opened, it checks the language set on the device and, where a supported translation is available, automatically displays the app in that language. This means users do not need to manually choose a language within the app itself.
The result is a more localised experience that helps users navigate screens, actions and workflows more easily in their configured language.
Best practice tips
To get the most value from this update, we recommend the following:
Check device language settings during setup
Make sure each device is configured with the correct system language for the user, as this determines which language the app will display.
Include language settings in rollout processes
Where devices are issued centrally, include language configuration as part of your standard setup process so users get the right experience from day one.
Test shared devices carefully
If multiple users share the same device, make sure the language setting reflects the needs of the current user or your site’s agreed operating approach.
Encourage feedback on translations
If users spot missing, unclear or incorrect translations, raise them with your account manager so they can be reviewed for future releases.
Support teams with local onboarding where needed
Where language accessibility is especially important, combine translated app screens with local training or onboarding to help users get comfortable with the workflow quickly.
