ODK Build: Unsupported languages and ordering #155

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
When adding language translations the languages are not in order.  For example, 
"Spanish" shows up near most of the E's, but appears on the phone as "SPA".  

I'm not sure if this is possible, but it'd be nice if the whole word "spanish" 
showed up on the phone instead of "spa"

Also, in several trainings users have asked what they should do when a local 
dialect/language is not on the list.  There's no way right now to add or 
specify another.

It may be easier to just make the add a field where you type the language name 
and click "add".?  Haven't thought it through much, so not sure what the 
easiest/best thing to do would be.

Apparently Google Code doesn't play well with mobile webkit.

The original motivation behind the list was to standardize on the ISO-standard 
list and codes of languages. Yaw and I thought it might be a good idea at the 
time and figured Build would be a good place to start. If this isn't the case 
anymore, it'd be trivial to change it to a freeform box. Are spaces allowed?
