This came up in a recent one star review for the Jetpack app:
If the problem of the language suddenly changing to Simplified Chinese is not solved, I will delete this junk app
The user wanted to use the app with Traditional Chinese, but could only use Simplified Chinese (which is one of the "magnificent 16" languages).
Thanks for reporting! 👍
From a recent two star review:
There is no Polish language
From a recent one star review:
It's not Czech, it's not a translator.
1-star app review (7927900-zen):
Where is the Romanian language? Not all of us know English perfectly! I downloaded the application, I logged in and surprise, the Romanian language sucks!

Description
At the moment, Jetpack Android is limited to the "magnificent 16" languages for which Automattic pays for translations. This has garnered some negative reviews as outlined here: pxLjZ-7SD-p2. It also limits who can use the app and creates a confusing experience when migrating from the WordPress app (which supports more languages).
Proposed Solution
It'd be possible to expand the available languages by following Olivier's steps: pxLjZ-7SD-p2#comment-20028
This would likely be a small project from a tech point of view, but might require some co-ordination with the i18n team around translations.
