How to enable the language button in search view?
I can't find it

[nsh07]

Just type anything into the search bar, and it will appear along with the search suggestions

Hey, talking about languages, would be possible to include Brazilian Portuguese for the wikipedia articles?

[nsh07]

I'm sorry, but that is not possible from my side. The Wikipedia languages are picked from Wikipedia itself and I do not have any control over them.

According to Wikipedia, they have decided not to split European and Brazilian Portugese so they are the same in Wikipedia (simply Portugese).

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias :

Wikipedia projects vary in how they divide dialects and variants. For example, the English Wikipedia includes most modern varieties of English including American English and British English.[6][7] Similarly, the Spanish Wikipedia includes both Peninsular Spanish and Latin American Spanish,[8] and the Portuguese Wikipedia includes both European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.[9]

Oh. I did not know that. I guess some articles are written in one language, and some are in the other, no biggie.
Also, thanks for the nice app!

[nsh07]

No problem. Thank you too for using this app :)

@nsh07 Hey, the app is excellent. Thanks for your hard work, but it would be great if you could keep the option of changing the app language from the app settings instead of relying on the system language like in the older version before you enhanced the UI.

[Ultrate]

Okay, my bad. But I think it would be great if you added the option of changing the app language in the app settings instead of relying on the default system language.

[nsh07]

I will implement this in the future, thanks for the suggestion!

[nsh07]

Hey, I've implemented this feature and it will be available in the next update!

It currently only works on Android 13 and later, however. What Android version is your device on?

[Ultrate]

That's good, but unfortunately I have Android 9

[nsh07]

I'll add support for lower Android versions too, then. Thanks for the reply!
