Force app language, no matter the system's default #1884

DervishD commented 3 months ago

I'm evaluating KeePassDX and I've noticed that the app uses by default the system's language, which is OK, but at least the Spanish translation is a bit confusing (I'm ready to help with that if needed, I already use Weblate for contributing translations for other projects) and I think it would be great if the app's language could be forced or at least could be defaulted to the English original.

I understand this is a weird use case, but that is not the only reason why I think this is a good idea: a lot of people I know prefer to use these technical apps in English because they are more familiar with the English versions of the technical words, etc.

As I said, if any help is needed with the Spanish translation, I can lend a hand, I'm a native speaker. I can't promise full commitment, I can't maintain the full translation on my own right now, but I can help if needed.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I don't agree it is a "weird use case". Many people (including me) prefer using technical apps in English than in their native language which is the default on their device. And since Android has added the Per-app language preferences feature maybe that could help to implement this in a standard way.
