Jerboa is already shaping up to be a great app this early on (it’s reminding me a bit of earlier versions of Sync), but one little gripe I have so far with the newest version is forced app localisation.

I’m usually more annoyed than anything else by most apps that are suddenly being translated into my language (German), and I’d much rather keep the standard English version.

Is there any way you could make it so that we are able to choose which language the app is displayed in? I can’t even force English in the android app settings.

Anyway, as I said, great app so far. Thanks for the hard work!

    Problem is, I’d like to keep my system language set to German if possible.

    Android already offers the capability to set default languages on a per app basis, which even works for the otherwise absolutely dreadful official Reddit app (which used to switch between languages all the time), but jerboa doesn’t seem to support that yet.

      Didn’t know about the per app language setting, that’s really neat!

        Right? I think they introduced it with android 13. However, in order for this to work, the app developer has to specifically enable this for their app, so it doesn’t work with all apps, unfortunately. But it’s a neat little feature nonetheless.
