[Ovmsdev] OVMS Android localization

[Denis KRAUTH]

Hi,

 

If you provide me the file with the strings to translate, I will do it for
French.

I think every user would rather see the messages in his native language than
in English.

Here are some stats, from the Android app (google play store version), based
on Active installs (trying to remove the install-once-to-see-what-it-is
crowd):

Pretty much matches what I thought - the Tesla Roadster, plus dutch Twizzy
populations :-).

 

I guess most of the swiss users are German speaking?

 

I'm happy to look at translations for the top languages - English, German,
Norwegian, Dutch and French.

 

Probably a dumb question, but: Would those be useful for people? Is it good
to have it appear in your own language, or do you prefer the english
version?

 

If it is useful, can we get some people to step forward to do the
translations? One for each language. From my understanding, we produce a
list of all the strings in the application, and you just have to translate
it to a local language equivalent.

 

Regards, Mark.

Hi,

 

I offered my help a few months ago to translate the app into French.

Has the app now reached a state where localization into other languages can
be considered?
