Problem with WP for Android. Thanks to the new manual localeLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ selector I can now choose our locale (Scottish Gaelic (gd)). Initially, that only changed a few stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. in the UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. but I put that down to having let the translation slip a bit because the UI wasn’t accessible.
I have since brought the translation up to date (https://translate.wordpress.org/languages/gd/default/apps), finished around 20 June and waited for an update of the app – had another yesterday but I’m still seeing mostly English with a few bits of Gaelic. I have tried restarting, reinstalling, no change. If I change to German, it works fine, everything comes up in German.
Is there a problem with the translations getting pushed to the app somehow?

Firstly, many thanks for your contributions to the project and for bringing this issue to our attention! I’m one of the developers on the mobile app, maybe I can clear things up.

When we release an update to the app we run a tool to update the stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. with the latest translations. Looking at the source on GitHub I can see that the last update to the translations was for for the previous version, 4.1, which means the strings were not updated before the 4.2 release.

Since this hiccup is effecting so many users we’ve decided to release a hotfix version with the translations (for all languages) and other minor changes (bug fixes). We’ll work hard to get the update out ASAP. if you’re interested you can track the progress on the projects’ GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ page, here. Shortly after all the issues for the 4.2.1 milestone are closed we will have the update rolling out to users.
