[Ovmsdev] OVMS Android localization

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Denis,

You can try from:

http://www.openvehicles.com/downloads/OVMS.3.1.3.beta1.apk

Your translations seem fine, and come up in the App perfectly. The only change I had to make was that apostrophes (') need to be escaped (\'). I've committed to github, so you can see the revisions there (as you point out res/values-fr/strings.xml).

Thanks, Mark.

Could you send me an APK so I can test the translations?
