Discover how Xorbix expanded a powerful restaurant-management mobile application into an international, multi-language platform through strategic localization, dynamic rendering, and scalable architecture.
A long-time Xorbix client, an industry-leading global cheese manufacturer, requested an ambitious expansion to their existing mobile application. Previously designed exclusively for English-speaking users in the United States, the app served as a powerful daily operational tool for over a thousand restaurants and pizzerias.
Recognizing the growing need to support users in regions such as Mexico and Puerto Rico, the client approached Xorbix to transform the platform into a fully multi-lingual, internationally deployable product.
Xorbix’s development team revisited the app’s entire text-rendering architecture, extracting all English strings, implementing a robust localization system, and building a scalable infrastructure capable of supporting any future language additions.
1. No centralized location for language content.
2. High effort required to add or maintain translations.
3. Hard-coded UI strings that prevented on-the-fly switching.
4. No multi-region structure for Firebase-delivered dynamic content.
5. Push notifications could only be delivered in English.
6. The existing UX did not include any language selection or user preference handling.
Xorbix implemented a complete, scalable localization solution that fully modernized the application’s architecture.
Developers combed through every screen in the mobile app—hundreds of UI elements, buttons, messages, tooltips, modals, errors, labels, and placeholders.
All English text was:
This created a clean source of truth for translators and future content updates.
{ loginScreen_enterPassword: “Please enter your password” }
{ loginScreen_enterPassword: “Por favor ingrese su contraseña” }
Using the language context file, the app performs:
This enables on-the-fly translation without reloading or restarting the app.
For dynamic fields (e.g., homepage announcements), Xorbix redesigned Firebase into a multi-language schema:
Old Structure
New Structure
The app only fetches the fields associated with the user’s language selection.
Language-Based Push Notifications
Firebase Cloud Messaging does not dynamically translate notifications.
To solve this, Xorbix created:
When a user selects a language, the app subscribes them to the appropriate topic.
Admins can now send notifications targeted by language, ensuring consistent experience across regions.
Security was a top priority. Xorbix incorporated cloud managed IT services best practices including:
This architecture ensures fast performance, low overhead, and seamless scaling into new markets.
A dedicated agile team was assembled with expertise in custom software development, UI/UX design, QA, and project management. The team delivered the solution through iterative sprints, continuous feedback loops, and collaborative planning.
Testing was performed iteratively:
1. Before localization
2. During localization
3. Adding Spanish
4. Firebase dynamic content testing
5. User language switching
After multiple test cycles from both Xorbix QA and the client, the solution was approved for deployment.
Post-launch, Xorbix continued providing cloud-based managed services and performance optimizations, ensuring system stability and long-term scalability.
This project transformed a U.S.-only restaurant-management application into a scalable global product.
Key benefits:
This solution positions the client for long-term international growth.
With this project, the client’s enabled for global distribution, powered by Xorbix’s commitment to custom software development and cloud development solutions.
