Mobile app: some UI elements not available for localization
Description:
Android app Jitsi-Meet (22.5.1) on Android 12.0 (Pixel 4a). Some UI elements always appear in English instead of the corresponding locally set System Language.
For example,
- the App's main menu (on the bottom): Recent, Calendar, Settings
- Settings: Help, Privacy, Terms
Steps to reproduce:
- Enable non-English System Language (e.g. Deutch)
- Open Jitsi-Meet app on Android (close it first, if it's already running)
- App's menu on the bottom still appears in English (Recent, Calendar, Settings)
- Open "Settings" -- some of the strings are still in English (Help, Privacy, Terms)
Expected behavior:
The UI elements are localized properly, per localized version of main.json (main-de.json for Deutch).
Apparently, the corresponding strings used in Android app UI are missing from main.json.
For example, currently, main.json references only one instance of "Recent" and this one is for Welcome page for web-app, and this appears correctly localized.
Actual behavior:
- Android's app UI strings are referenced in
main.json - The referenced strings are properly localized
Client information:
- App version: Jitsi-Meet 22.5.1
- Operating System: Android 12.0
We rely on community contributions for translations.
That means that until a given language is fully translated the English / original translation will show in its place.
Note that translations are frozen in the app, so what tou see on the repo is usually ahead.
You can use our beta versions for a more up to date app.
I don't think the strings in question are present in the main.json. That is these controls/labels are not set up to be translatable in the UI code for the app.
Ah, you're right. We missed this when we refactored the tabs as we moved to react-navigation: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/e38f9a293b4cb4378b58903026d115af6c3df93c/react/features/mobile/navigation/components/welcome/components/WelcomePageTabs.js#L80
