Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Please, add a language selector. Forced translations on the latest version are a bit of a mess. (lemmy.world)

I just updated to 0.35 and got a translation forced on me with no option to go back to English. The translations are a bit of a mess in many ways. Literal translations that take no consideration of context, broken layout elements due to longer strings of text...

Don't get me wrong, is great that they are thinking of making it easy for everyone to use the app, I'm just asking to make it optional if possible.

BTW, I don't know if Jerboa devs monitor this community, but I don't use Matrix, so I'm not sure where else to request this.

Jerboa 0.35 added an option in the android settings to change the app language. You can change the language there.

If I'm not mistaken, that's only a feature on Android 13.

That's correct.

I'll be changing my old phone in two weeks but my heart stays with people who, for whatever reason (e.g. : broke), are stuck on older phones capping at Android 9.
