[FEATURE] options/features/language switcher
I think it would be great to have a way to adjust options/preferences/other settings within Amethyst. For example, the UI language right now always follows the system settings and there is no way to set a different one other than changing system language. The problem becomes: what if the user wants to use a different one, or the desired one is not available as a system language choice?
The options panel could also be a place to adjust other settings that other feature requests have raised such as filtering/visibility/etc.
Alternatively regarding lang choice: I know that in Android 13 (and possibly earlier?) it is possible to change UI language on a per-app basis, but I guess it has to be enabled somehow within the app?
I'd be happy to put a 50k bounty on this!
Would like to tackle this. Please @vitorpamplona any preferred UI/UX suggestions?
So want to minimize options as much as possible. That being said, @3j2009 has some good UIs here: https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/issues/394
The only question is: are these per account or one for all accounts? And how do we make that clear in the UI?
@vitorpamplona I thought of 3 options.
- Per the UI mock-up on the option in the settings screen, we can just clarify it in the small text for the option. Something like:
Post editing
Edit your posts up to 30s after editing. Limited to this account.
- We can make it a section called Post editing, and inside, have different toggles.
- We can make a tri-state toggle, with options, Off, One(For the current account), All(for all accounts)
Oops, wrong post.
@vitorpamplona we can have a dropdown menu with the languages, and a dual-state toggle beneath it to choose applying to one account or all accounts.
Android 13 allows per-App language preferences in System settings (App needs to support it though).
Would implementing this be worth the effort considering the small market share of android 13?
I'll have a look at this. If it doesn't complicate the base code it could be a nice ux enhancement
Hmm @vitorpamplona @davotoula the only thing remaining here is app-wide or per-account language settings. Cc @chiajlingvoj @greenart7c3
I just realised that the burger menu has a mix of account specific and global settings.
Maybe all global settings should be inside a "Global settings" menu item?
@vitorpamplona I think this issue can be closed. @davotoula I guess the global settings menu may be part of the settings re-arrangement mentioned in #734 ?

There will be Account-based Settings and App-based Settings. We just need to make it clear on the UI which one is which.
Yes, I agree that it can be closed
