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.

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!

Pginer-WMF added a comment to T336914: [Android app] Add automated page translation if no page on desired language.

This is a challenge of its own

Hmm, I'm not talking about "challenge" but of lack of very useful feature. Currently if no English/Ukrainian/Russian page exist, I should open Chrome mobile browser (by tapping last link on page in the app) and tap "Translate" (it's already built in to the Chrome mobile). Yes, it's an easy but will be a way better to get the same result inside the app!
Of course I do understand it's a machine translation (but usually it's correct up to 99%) and it's pretty OK for me.

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.
