@Tuan1-2-3 Not sure if it's an important feature since you can already do that in the settings, so the priority is pretty low.

However, there is someone who is not interested in taking the time to search for it in the settings page; instead, they desire immediate access to it.

I haven't had any complaints about this bothering anyone. If someone wants to change the language, it's not difficult, and since users will open the settings to change other preferences, adding an extra page just for this seems unnecessary.

@PranshulGG maybe add a button in the app settings that make the system settings for the language of the app pop open?

The app doesn't rely on system settings to change the language.

That is true. But if a very old person (grandmother, grandfather,...) using it, they won't like to find it. (My experience)

Doesn't the app already pick up the system language on first startup? It's rather going to be counterintuitive for the vast majority of users, including myself.

It automatically sets English as the default language.

Now I see what you mean. Then perhaps the issue should be reconsidered as "syncing app language with the system language on first launch."

[PranshulGG]

It automatically sets English as the default language.

It doesn't set it as default; it's just written in English, and other languages replace those strings. Adding sync between app language and system language, @bugreporter005, I'm not sure if that's possible through JS

So that's why I suggest you to add a language page if sync between app language and system language isn't available.

Can't this be done with Java?

It can be done through Java, and it's pretty simple, but the problem I'm facing is:

All the text elements should be rendered before applying language strings.

If they are not rendered, the app will be half in English and half in the selected language, e.g., Chinese.

At startup, the app doesn't render anything because it checks if the location is available. If not, it returns null, which causes no elements to render.
