Some strings are still in English. Are they translatable?

I purposefully leave them as such. Some of them seem too difficult. After all, our language is too much influenced by English words so that translating them will confuse people. And honestly, this is my first translation attempt for apps other than my own.

English words so that translating them will confuse people.

Even in Arabic, language names confuse me. However, the person who wants to translate to these languages will know it's name. Maybe google translate's UI will help. Go and change your googles account's UI language. Visit https://translate.google.com/. Use the language selectors as a reference.

Ofc, I used Google Translate (it's a good way to begin). I hope the translated strings should be enough for a Malayali using this app.

@sunilpaulmathew Does this Default share to-language text string also have to be in English?

sunilpaulmathew commented 3 years ago

Default share to-language

@Valdnet I think it is a bit confusing even in English. That's why I leave it as such. What it really means. I haven't find the APK anywhere to test it myself.

You're right. I struggled to translate it to Arabic too.

What it really means.

When you select some text in your phone, there are some options: copy, paste, select-all and we have added Simply Translate Mobile. Pressing this option will share that selected text to Simply Translate Mobile and translate it. the language selection for this circumstance is Autodetect => Share-to-Language. That setting changes the To-Language for the feature. You're confusion says that it's not explained well. That will be on our TODO list.

I haven't find the APK anywhere to test it myself.

The app is on F-Droid. We're changing package names right now so the README link may not work. To get the most up-to-date versions. Go to the GitHub Actions page. Click the most recent build. Download it's Artifact: image Note You should be logged in before you can download any Artifact. This will be documented more too.

I'll merge it now. We'll try to explain the Default share to-language more in the app and notify you about it. Otherwise, thank you for your translation. We appreciate it!

@sunilpaulmathew @ManeraKai Change the variable $length -> $lengthDifference in line 123.

ManeraKai commented 3 years ago

Changed it and moved the file to the lang directory.
