Thanks, both these issues have been fixed 
These fixes will be included in the next beta release.
As always if you see an error a pull-request is the best way to help fix since any chance canât get (literately in the case!) lost in translation!
yeah i know about prâs, but i was at work when i noticed them for one and secondly i got a new pc and have to set up everything for github again, i donât even know if i still have my âputtyâ key. On top of that also thought i better post about it first so others could shed some light on the best translations and i never created any android app so have no clue about them seems a whole lot of work when someone all set up for it might do it quicker 
Sure, I understand, Itâs not a problem. However, using the github web interface there is no need to have GitHub installed on your PC to make small edits. It can be done directly in the browser, just click the pencil icon when viewing a file:
Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.

thanks for helping out. My dutch is rusty since I left Belgium about 20 years ago now and I donât often speak dutch anymore.
Plus when you translate strings it is always hard to guess where they are used in an app, tonight I reviewed some as I saw them in place and indeed some translations were far away from what they actually meant to be
Did a new pull request so these changes will be included in next release, hopefully before final release
And do keep correcting me

Hello guys,
app version 2.0.5 with all the strings in Italian are correct, I just wanted to report these two small mistakes:
- on the main screen, the day of the week âgiâ is not printed correctly.
- when you create a new page by not selecting any feeds the error message does not fit on two lines, it would take three.
thatâs all!
As always an excellent job: D
I think it would be appropriate to specify in the description on playstore that the app is multi-language and listing supported languages.
If you want I can also do a translation of the text in the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.emoncms.myapps&hl=it so maybe Italians users will be more willing to install the app!
What about apps for iOS? I do not think there is multi-language?
Gabriele
Thanks for letting us know
Iâll take a look at this tomorrowâŚ
Could the error message be made more concise to enable it to fit on two lines?
Yes, good idea. When V2 update (currently in beta) is promoted to production the play store description and screenshots will be updated.
Ios is totally separate development. Yes, your correct, I donât think the ios app does support translation. Iâm an Android user even less of an iOS developer than I am an Android developer! We would need to ask @mattjgalloway the developer of the iOS app. Do you have any experience with ios?
regarding the German adaptation:
- same problem as stated above by Gabriele: when you create a new page by not selecting any feeds the error message does not fit on two lines, it would take three (or more?).
- Konten (german for Account) is mixed in some places with Account. Under the headline âKontenâ there is a message âAccount hinzufĂźgenâ (âadd accountâ), which should perhaps be âKonto hinzufĂźgenâ. But if you press âAccount hinzufĂźgenâ there are references to âEmoncms-Account-Seiteâ and âMy accountâ. Not sure how to solve that, translate everything strictly to german or simply leave it as it is (my preference) âŚ
Iâll take a look at the error message isssue
Would it be possible for you to edit the German strings to fix the above. Iâm happy leaving it the same if it makes sense. Iâm keen to get to a release point soon.
V2.0.6 update has started rolling out the beta channel with the following fixes and some new features / tweaks:
- NL and IT translation fixes @bidouilleur
- Fix IT day of the week translation screen over run
- Increase Power Now and Power today font size
- Fix translation feed error page over run
- Decrease margin
-
Add custom currency option, thanks @gab.lau
- Add app version to settings page, thanks @gab.lau
Hmm,
- adding custom currency option has introduced a new string âcustom currencyâ which is not translated yet.
- Version number shown, very good!
The strings to translate are three:
<string name="custom">custom</string>
<string name="settings_title_myelectric_custom_currency">Custom currency</string>
<string name="settings_title_app_information">APP VERSION: </string>
I have already put on the bottom of your files âstrings.xmlâ
Done. I also changed âAccountâ in most places to âKontoâ (still ambiguous about it).
But there is one additional string which does not appear in the strings.xml. It says: âAdd at least one acoount to proceedâ and comes when the Settings menu is left without any account defined.

translations to dutch and french are done
on my old nexus a little problem with overflowing text zones, both in dutch and french this happens.
horizontal and vertical
and with the setting not to dim the screen, when I go in the settings page, it does dim after a few minutes ⌠maybe an android bug though
How old is your old nexus?
My old MotoG 2013 running Android 5.1.1. with a 4.5" screen looks like this:
I think the issue is with the Android version, what version are you running?
This is the galaxy nexus : Galaxy Nexus - Wikipedia
running Android 4.3, latest it can have ⌠what you can call a good
old-timer but according data this version is still 10% of the droid users âŚ
plus it is a rather small screen compared to todayâs models that are more
fablets then tels though yours is smaller
must be relted to droid version, THE big problem in the Android world, to
many different versions and not all compatible ⌠in a few years it will be
better when those old-timers will be gone
Itâs not the handset, version of Android or the internationalisation, hereâs my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge running Android 7.0
Why has the font size of the values been increased so significantly? previously it looked really well proportioned and worked with larger numbers too.
I have also noticed it is no longer possible to switch between accounts on the app since updating. selecting another account just results in a black screen. If I then exit the app and reopen it the newly selected account is populated but changing back or to another account results in the same blank page. Anyone else seeing this? I havenât had any time to look into it yet.
Same problem with the oversize fonts here. Especially on the âcostâ page the used font is much too big.
The font size was increased in version V2.0.6 to try and make the Power Now and Today figures more readable at a glance. Especially on wall mounted tablets. Even on my 4.5" Moto G 2013 the font size does not look overly large to me, see my post above for screen shot.
This is what the cost screen looks like for me, again I donât think itâs overly large:
I think there is a separate issue here with the formatting on different devices. On my devices the units are displayed in a much smaller font, in @bidouilleur and @Paul screenshots the units (/h) are displayed in the same size font.
@Paul does the problem go away if you select some feeds to display and set a unit cost? What version are you running? Itâs strange that the âHâ character is missing from â3Hâ and â6Hâ view. The version number is now shown on the settings page.
Hi @glyn.hudson, itâs @pb66 not @paul.
Iâm running v2.0.6, (I had to delete an account to access that due to the issue I previously reported about a month ago Emoncms Android App V2.0.8 (open beta testing) - #36 by pb66)
No, I just used an empty page for a clearer view
I hadnât noticed that, it is odd. I have the latest version and I have cleared the cache, more than once.
How does the app save the settings?
If I set-up 2 or 3 pages, for example âSolarâ, âUsageâ & 'Diverted, allocate the feeds in settings etc, so everything looks fine - graph & barchart display OK ect.
BUT, if I close all running apps (via the android app switcher), and then restart emoncms, all of my settings will be lost, and I need to set up the feeds etc from scratch again. Ggrr!
