Frequently asked questions
01: Does sync•gw support native language support?
uses gettext based translations - each message used by
server can be translated to any language you want. We recommend using one of many translation tools available (e.g. KBabel, GTranslator or POEdit) to create new translation files. For more information please check out help in administrator interface.

Only those data assigned to your user id can be synchronized. Cross user synchronization is currently not supported. The good news is, you can create your own solution for this problem: If you create a couple of synchronization configurations on your client device with multiple user id's, then you can synchronize all of those configurations step by step.

04: Are there any client limitations?
04-1: Why does my phone number does not arrive on client device?
Some information may not be synchronized due to internal device limitations not covered by back end handler. In some back ends you may enter "abc" as telephone number. If you try to synchronize that information to cell phone, telephone number will not be synchronized, because such numbers strings are only allowed to contain the digits 0 to 9 and the characters "+ ()#".
04-2: I've attached a picture to my contact on server. Why does it not synchronize to client device?
All images are stored in common PNG graphic format in
. As soon as you connect your client device to
and this device is capable of receiving or sending images, the image is converted to the supported graphic format and then send (the information about the supported graphics formats are exchanged during synchronization initialization).
If devices provide information it is capable of supporting pictures, but does not send which graphic formats it supports,
assumes as default the JPEG graphic format. This may lead to situations where client device receives information they may not support.
