[support]change language in app

Postby geotom » Wed May 16, 2012 4:53 am

Hi

The current language in app is currently set to one I do not understand. Can you guide me to which menu / submenu in the app where the language can be changed / gives the option of changing / reset to english or another language.

General -> Language and General -> Navigational Guidance. They're both right at the top of the menu.

I may not have expressed myself clearly enough. I'm using the Waze android app on a HTC Desire HD smartphone.

For some reason the menu language has changed to (Finnish, I think). I would like to change the menu language back to, say Danish or English.

But since my Finnish :) are non-existing, I'll need help on which menu's and menu items I have to pick to change back.

Thanks
Tom

I also have this problem here in Denmark.
Im using a Samsung Galaxy S with Android 2.3.3 and Waze 3.1.99.105 beta.

When i choose "Danish" in Settings-General-Language the language is finnish and not danish.
The lang.danish file in the waze directory on my phone contains finnish words and no danish.
It worked fine until a couple days ago. I now use english language which works fine.

I still have this problem.
I can see that the lang.danish file is downloaded by the client from a waze server.
And this file contains finnish words and not danish words.
Somebody at waze needs to replace this file on the server with one actually containing danish words.
Until then I just use english menu. :)
