Translation in English

[bonny1992]

Heya! This feels like the most polished and well done app to control qbittorrent when using iOS.

Is a translation in other languages (for example, English) in your plans?

I saw this translation: https://github.com/AlanLang/BitClient/blob/main/BitClient/Resources/Localization/Constants/en.lproj/Constants_Localizable.strings But can't find how to use English in the app, if it's possible, of course.

Sorry if I said something "strange" but I'm not an Apple dev... I'm gonna also tag @swift2geek because I saw that the commits where theirs.

Yes, we now have the English internationalization files, but it seems that they are not automatically switching based on the system settings. This is a bug, and I will fix it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

You can temporarily install this app, as I have set the default language to English. I will first investigate how to automatically switch based on the system language. I apologize, as I am not an iOS developer myself. https://github.com/AlanLang/BitClient/releases/download/v1.2.1/BitClient-en.ipa

Now you can install the latest version (v1.2.2) of the app. In this version, I have fixed the internationalization issue.

That was fast :D Thank you! I've tried installing a VM with MacOS to build it myself but I loudly failed :D

Oh only one thing: I believe if the phone isn't set in English as the main language, it won't switch to it automatically. Might want to make the user choose, maybe at login?

EDIT: Sadly this one https://github.com/AlanLang/BitClient/releases/download/v1.2.1/BitClient-en.ipa is still in Chinese. Tried deleting the app and installing it and installing it in place of the previous one, no luck.

Very good suggestion, but I think it's most intuitive to use the language of the system settings, and I don't understand why users would want to use a different language than their own system settings.

Is version v1.2.2 useful for you?

I agree with you, but maybe just as a workaround?

Sadly not. This is a screenshot from 1.2.2, directly after uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. My phone is set in Italian, maybe that's why? I don't really know how this works underneath.

I see. Since I have set the default language to Chinese if no language package is available, you can go to the system settings and put English as the second option.

If this issue is resolved, I will close it.

You were right, installing English as a secondary language the app switched to English as well. It's the first time I had to do that though. You can close the issue 😀

[bonny1992]

Just as a small report though, there's still some strings not yet translated in English. The toasts notifications and the "delete" submenu, for example.

[AlanLang]

Okay, I will provide the translation for the remaining text later.
