[BUG] Language not applied to the app

[tuxayo]

Android (OS) version: 7.1.2 (LineageOS for microG 14.1)
Android (OS) language (in English): French
App release: 2.0 (113)
App language (in English): Esperanto
Device RAM: 2GB
Device display size (in Inches): ?
Device model (and brand): LG Nexus 5
From what store have you installed the app?: F-Droid
Are there installed Google Services on your device? Yes (microG)

Description bug
It applies my system language (French) when I elected Esperanto in the list. And a partial translation of Esperanto is done in the translation platform.

• maybe it's due to needing a threshold for the translation for it to be used
• maybe the app translation system is limited by what the Android version supports and ship and Android supports and manufacturer ship far less languages than those having an ISO code

@tuxayo the old version of the app applied correctly the language?

Nope

[Sav22999]

@tuxayo have you tried other languages?

[tuxayo]

Same with Brezhoneg and Spanish.

[Sav22999]

Ok. It's a problem with the androud version. I guess you don't have "Spanish" as language of the device (not the default language, but one of downloaded language)...
I don't really know. Probably this will be a "wontfix" sorry

Ok. It's a problem with the androud version.

Works with Android 9.
Though hopefully it does not mean that bellow versions are doomed ^^" It depends on the details.

I guess you don't have "Spanish" as language of the device (not the default language, but one of downloaded language)...

I have it.

• If I enable Spanish as second language in the list of system languages, and Common Voice is set to Spanish. I still get French.
• If swap both language in the list of system languages (es 1, fr 2) and set Common Voice to french, I get Spanish
• system: es 1, en-US 2; Common Voice: English; Result: Spanish

First system language takes over.

[Sav22999]

Ok, it doesn't change programmatically the language, but use just the language of system. I'm sorry, I really don't know how to fix for now.
I've added "wontfix" in this issue

[Sav22999]

We're working on this bug.. But i can't guarantee anything 😕

[tuxayo]

No worries, I'm happy with it being recognized as an issue, even without a fix due the complexity of the situation.

Thanks a lot for investing time in this! :D Best luck 🤞

As the application suggests, the app is still not fully translated to Esperanto. I would say then which there's an incomplete Esperanto translation, no problem while switching from a language to another one. @Sav22999
