Easier way to jump between translations

[afarra]

Many users aren't able to find/figure out how to use translations or even that there is such a feature. A lot of market comments are either "add translation" or "why did you remove translation in new version"..etc.. other users find it annoying to have to go to settings every time they want to switch tafsirs

Suggestion:

• Have a spinner (like gmail's accounts/labels) in place of the sura/page information in the top action bar
• Spinner would have "Mushaf", as well as each of the downloaded translations/tafsirs (and possibly a "get more..." option)
• Selecting one would jump to that tafsir/translation; selecting Mushaf (or Quran) would go to Quran page
• Possible Enhancement 1: possibly have it a custom view which shows the sura/page info at the top followed by a seperator then all the tafsirs/translations (like evernote's monthly data usage 'spinner')
• Possible Enhancement 2: maybe even add to it the quick-page-jumping sliding-bar that was in v1.6.. (also like evernote's 'progress bar' showing total monthly usage) if not too hard.

In addition to (hopefully making translations more discoverable), it would also satisfy requests like this:

Mohammed - August 12, 2012 - Samsung Galaxy S2 with version 2.1.0 كلمة حق والله أني لم أقم بترشيح أو التعليق على أي برنامج من قبل ولا يهمني اعطاء تقييم لهذا البرنامج لكني رأيت من الواجب أن أشكر الشخص الذي قام بتطوير هذا البرنامج الاستثنائي خاصة وقد جربت معظم برامج القرآن الأخرى. فأحسن الله إليك ورحم الله والديك وجعل هذا البرنامج المميز في ميزان حسناتك. أما بالنسبة لملاحظتي الوحيدة التي أرجو أن تؤخذ بعين الأعتبار مستقبلا هي تسهيل التنقل بين التفسيرات التي تم تحميلها وذلك عند أختيار (تفسير/ترجمة الآية) من القائمة المنبثقة أتمنى أن تظهر قائمة منبثقة أخرى لاختيار التفسير المرغوب

regarding "why did you remove..." the fix for that is a "show more" in the translation dialog (since people can't find the translation view - (btw, it's really strange, how did they use to find it in the old app (the same process) but they can't find it in the new version!? ma 3alayna).

i like the spinner idea. i was holding off because my thought was to allow multiple translations at the same time, but i think if we do multiple translations at the same time, we'll have a lot of strange issues on older phones, database corruption issues (which we already have now actually based on some of the emails), and so on.
