Hi,
recently, MLO for Android changed for me to German (I am German and I live in Germany). I don´t know how that happened exactly. Windows version is still in English. And I am sorry to have to say it but the German translation is really irritating. I am used to the English terms and I would love to have my English version back. How do I get it?
Thanks!
Miriam

Go to Settings>General Setting>Application Language 
& change to English. 

Hope this is helpful :-)

Hmm....  I double check again & it seems the 1st option is system default (English). 

So I think u may need to switch your phone default language to English.

Dear Andrey & MLO developer, 

  Maybe we need a permanent English Language option here?  So it doesn't interfere with phone system language?

We are currently working on proofreading with volunteers who are German native speakers. If you want to help us, let us know. Thanks.

I was thinking about this, but it I find it really difficult. For example, I can't think of a goot equivalent of "starred" in German, it just doesn't exist. One would probably have to search through a lot of german applications to look what they are using. And as I am using the desktop version in English and am quite happy with it, I would prefer not to have two different languages. It is just easier, quicker, more intuitive if I don't have to switch languages. (Of course, generally speaking I appreciate the availability of a German version very much!)

Thank you for your information. Yes, you are right: I can change MLO to English if I change my phone system language. But I can't choose. I just don't have the "available language options" in MLO settings, even if I make my phone support English and German. MLO is always in the default language.

I agree with Miriam... I'm native German speaker too, but it would be helpful if the Android app could be optionally switched to English interface language.

BTW, I cannot find the setting to change the language. Was this removed? I'm running Android version 2.12.6.

Hi, I have some experience with localisation. I'd be happy to help you proofread and improve the German version. I'm a native German speaker (actually, bi-lingual German and English).

The current German text is HORRIBLE!!

Cheers
Max

The option to change language inside the app will be available soon.
We are glad to hear that you are willing to help us with proofreading the German version. We will contact you once the translation is updated.
