Apidog supports multiple languages for dynamic mock data generation through Faker.js locale features. This enables you to generate localized data—such as names, addresses, and phone numbers—that match your target region or culture.Default Locale Behavior#
By default, Faker follows your project's language setting.Set your project language in Project Settings → Basic Settings
This language serves as the default locale for all dynamically generated mock values
Customizing Faker Locale#
To set the Faker locale independently from your project language:1
Navigate to Project Settings → Feature Settings → Mock Settings
2
Select your desired Faker locale from the dropdown
Field-Level Locale Override#
Override the locale for individual fields using the locale parameter in mock expressions:{{$person.fullName(locale='ja')}}
Testing internationalization (i18n) features
Simulating multi-language user bases
Generating region-specific test data
Time Zone Configuration#
Project-Level Time Zone#
Set a default time zone for all dynamically generated date and time values:1
Navigate to Project Settings → Feature Settings → Mock Settings
2
Select your desired time zone
Field-Level Time Zone Override#
Override the time zone for individual date or time fields using the timeZone parameter.| Use Case | Expression | Sample Output |
|---|
| Recent date (Tokyo) | {{$date.recent(days=1, timeZone='Asia/Tokyo')}} | 2024-06-13T16:48:12+09:00 |
| Date range (London) | {{$date.between(from='2024-01-01', to='2024-12-31', timeZone='Europe/London', format='yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')}} | 2024-03-15 04:26:52 |
Field-level time zone parameters provide precise control over date and time data, enabling accurate simulation of any region or time zone in your mock responses.
