# Jailbreak detection, i18Next first steps - Mon 26th Oct, 2020

Adding app security this week. I added a check for jailbroken devices using the [jail-monkey](https://www.npmjs.com/package/jail-monkey). It seems well used and supported, but I'm not sure how to actually test it's working yet!

Also started work on adding translation / localisation support into C+.

[react-i18next](https://react.i18next.com/) supports React Native. It is widely used, but I have not been super thrilled with its documentation, nor its TS typings, so far.

I'm sure I'll have some useful takeaways soon.
