I wanted to make the post short and to the point. So I chose not to credit you and Local Guides Daily for drawing my attention to this. I listened to your video podcast this morning, tested and knew the new feature should be explained on Connect
Thanks for the inspiration and sorry for not crediting you in the opening post.
@MortenCopenhagen no need to mention that at all (for this and for any possible future information)… it’s not important… we are all just helping out ourselves and others… … only thanks to Google
Thanks for sharing this @MortenCopenhagen@StephenAbraham .I will most certainly use this feature a lot (since I am now doing it the ‘elaborate’ way: change the phone language settings) in my efforts to correct POI categories and names.
The fact that this might be coming was one of the news items in a recent podcast episode, but I never imagined it would be available so soon.
I have now had the opportunity to use App language for a little while.
It is very convenient that after you change the language the app will restart automatically.
When set to English we still get to see the Danish (local language) name field also. Just like before. This is also very convenient so we don’t need to swop the app language all the time (= for most edits).
When creating a new POI and the language us set to English, we don’t get to also fill in the local language name like before. But changing the language is easy, so it is no problem to go back and fill in the local name also. Before I had to find min laptop to fix this.
Thanks @MortenCopenhagen for letting us know. So happy that it is now available globally. Sure, it is one of the most needed features that many users requested and it is very usefull.
