Change language of app

Post by Morgenstern72 » 10 Jan 2014 14:59

I use german language on my phone but would like to use the app with english language. It's much easier to build flows when you can search here for the english terms.

Thx for your help :)

Hi,

Android does not provide an official way to do this but it's on my todo-list to check whether the unofficial way works good enough so it might come in a future release.
At the moment you could temporarily switch the system language to English to follow English instructions.

Regards,
Martin

Thx for your fast answer :)
Since I have many apps in english on my phone (native or with ability to switch to english) I see forward that this is not a too hard task :)

By the way...can I use Automagic for that? When the app gets to foreground change the system language to englishand when it goes to background change back to german?

Changing the language for Automagic will be available in the next EAP version. The tests look good so far but the feature should be considered 'experimental' nevertheless.

Automagic has no built-in action to change the system language. I think that the plugin Secure Settings offers such an action.
You can use action Plugin to execute a plugin-action.
