Change language in App

Open L0gi opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

Hi,

I have not seen any option to change the language within the app to something different than locale.

It's nice that you're trying to be "inclusive" by offering "native" languages to users, but it really isn't helpful if the translation is dogshit.

At least for german, I would rather see the 'original' or more likely properly translated and vetted english strings than the half assed 'german' that's implemented.

sorry for the strong words, but I am getting really frustrated by the bad translation jobs many -'indie' as well as 'established'- software developers are willing to accept, presumably just so they can boast about how many languages they support and that they are 'global players'. In all honesty a bad translation is a detriment to user experience since not only are the option names absolutely confusing, but you are also robbed of the option of relying on online resources to guide you, which are most likely to be in english.

I can see two potential solutions to this issue:

Either have some process in place so translations are properly checked IN CONTEXT (preferably in coopoeration with native speakers of the target language) before accepting them. And/Or add an option to change the language specifically for the app and don't just rely on systemwide lang/locale.

To solve this issue, I'm making an application of language selection option in this app.

Please make it an AND

And/Or add an option to change the language specifically for the app and don't just rely on systemwide lang/locale.

For me with dyslexia, with this German Translations in the App, it's really not usable!
