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

- Chinese locales don't work

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.
