Right. I think this issue can be closed though. Sorry about that!
Hi @EditingPencil:
I notice that the app isn't displayed under app languages option in android. (I'm on fdroid's wikipedia r/2.7.50458-r-2023-11-09 released on 2023-11-14) Is that a bug?

Hey, @ARamadan-WMF I figured out how to get it working! I had to change device language. Very sorry for the inconvenience.
Okay, @EditingPencil, would you please send a recorded video that shows the exact steps to my email: aramadan@wikimedia.org?
This will assist us in identifying and addressing the issue more effectively. Thank you for your time and willingness to contribute!

Hey, @ARamadan-WMF, I have rechecked and found that it does not change the UI language for my choices. I'm referring to settings, navigation, options,...
If this is already implemented, I'd love to know how I can contribute. Thanks for taking the time!

Hello, @EditingPencil,
Thank you for your inquiry about the Wikipedia Android app UI. The app UI can be changed by changing the device language.

This is a challenge of its own
The Language-Team is exploring ways to use machine translation to provide access to Wikipedia contents only available in other languages. These efforts are captured in T341196: MinT for Wiki Readers (machine translation of wiki contents), and some initial ideas are captured in T340997: Design exploration for the consumption of machine translated sections of Wikipedia articles.

I am very happy we are pointing to pages on mediawiki instead of a language wiki where it can be translated. Great work team, you inspire me

Done @scblr . Please checkout the updated apk and let me know.
Hey Sharvani – sorry for moving this to Did not pass Design without any instructions. I posted it to the wrong task (T296952#8212206) 🤦♂️.
