Set localization options
To test a localized version of your app, you can configure language, locale and timezone settings on the device for your Espresso test execution.

Timezone
You can set a device timezone in order to configure your tests to run on a custom timezone. In order to do so, you need to use the timezone parameter in the REST API request to start Espresso test execution.
