It will be great if we can prioritise the metadata to be multilingual in
the API. We already know how to translate the Android UI, by generating our
own build.

I'm copying Morton to see if he can give us an idea of when the API would
be able to return the Form Name and Options in multilingual format. It is
critical for many of the implementations that we have in the pipeline in
Asia - we need the analytics in English, but the data collection, using
android, in the local language.
