[Feature] Make the app name and activity labels translatable

Open Jesse205 opened this issue 3 months ago • 0 comments

The app name "Activity Manager" is not a proper noun and can therefore be translated into other languages. For example, it can be translated into Chinese as "活动管理器." Alternatively, to maintain professionalism, the Android-specific term can be retained, such as translating it as "Activity 管理器."

For example, most Google apps that are not proper nouns have corresponding Chinese translations:

Original Name Chinese Name
Sheets 表格
Keep Notes Keep 记事
Docs 文档
Files by Google 文件极客
Calculator 计算器
Photos 相册
Contacts 联系人
Translate 翻译
Camera Go 相机精简版

Only proper nouns remain untranslated, for example:

  • Gemini
  • Play
  • Chrome
  • YouTube
  • Gmail

As for activity names, almost all activity names are not designated as proper nouns unless the activity represents a standalone app. Therefore, activity names should also be translatable.
