Hi!

Sorry if this has been asked before but I work for a team that is looking to make an app that would run on a PC/Mobile etc in different countries. Is there an emulator I can use to test if it would work in somewhere like China? Thank you! 🙂

Have you looked into Wonderproxy? They host servers in many countries specifically for localisation testing.

Or using a VPN so you are “in” China?

I think BrowserStack also offer geolocation capabalities, but obviously would require licensing for use of their system

This is a terribly good question, why did I miss it. It makes me think of the “Johari Window”, I mean it’s obvious there are 2 big things going on here; localization + internationalization and of course time + network behaviour. But what else is a real risk in this environment?

A pity the OP did not stick around to share how things went, and whether they did apply the standard set of risk evaluations most of us would have.

Just as I was having a look at the suggestions I was told it wasn’t needed anymore anyway!
