Hi everyone,

I will try to answer most of the questions which appeared in the thread.

*Ifeanyi*,
Could you please expand a little bit on problems you have experienced with
android clients? Especially this one:

For example, you do not get a completed entry report using the app each
time a user submits data


We are planning to start developing new version of android data capture
client, so your feedback can help us to solve problems which people
experience in the field.

*Morten and Jason,*
In order to translate UI components in android apps we just need to supply
translations of prompts in .xml. Operating system will pick up translations
based on system settings (if your phone is running in Norwegian and
application contains corresponding translations, they will be automatically
applied to UI). The only problem for us is to provide translations for
languages which *are not officially supported by android *and there is no
clean, straightforward way to solve this problem at the moment.

P.S. It is pretty sad that people don’t use android apps only because of
internationalization problems, we definitely should look into this in near
future (we can discuss this during academy).

Best regards,
