Description Florian 2014-07-20 17:23:47 UTC 
Request from: https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=7655611

If the users language isn't pretty good as phone language (maybe of badly or not fully translated) the user can not use the translated interface of the Wikipedia App (it's only possible to change interface language when you change the phone language). Suggestion: Set phone language as default, but enable to change it in settings.

This is fairly technically hard to do, since we just use Android's default i18n system, which, afaik, does not allow you to programmatically set the language (I'll be happy to be proven wrong). This means that the only way to implement this is to implement our own i18n system, which is... hard.

Oh, I see.

Per Yuvi's explanation, I'm going to WONTFIX this bug. We can always revisit this in the future, but this isn't on the table right now.
