Niklas has landed the first commit of localization
data from
TranslateWiki.net into the repository. The app now picks up the language in
Android's locale and shows localized menus in most of the UI:

It _should_ also default to the selected language for content on first
launch.
There are a couple bugs yet:
* Changing locales while the app is running doesn't take effect
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32897>
* Chinese locales don't work
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32898>
We also have localizations for a number of languages that aren't necessarily
in a default Android device's set of languages, such as Hebrew and various
Indic languages. These *should* work on Android devices that have been
customized with locales for those languages, but we'd appreciate testing!
Sweet. I'm talking with Nitobi today about transitioning the repot
which will make account permissions easier to manage for check ins.
