Hi everyone,
We've released our latest update to the Wikipedia Android app
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia&hl=en>, now
available on the Google Play store. (For devices without Google Play
services, you may download
<https://releases.wikimedia.org/mobile/android/wikipedia/stable/wikipedia-2.7.237-r-2018-06-27-universal.apk>
the app directly)
Here are the highlights from this update:
* *Multi-language support*: you may now select multiple languages
simultaneously to be your preferred languages in the app.
** When searching for a term within the app, you can easily switch between
preferred languages to see results in that language.
** The Explore feed now shows content in all of your preferred languages.
Customization of the feed has been expanded to include per-language
preferences for each type of feed content.
** When first installing the app, it automatically detects your languages
based on your system settings and keyboard locales.
* Per-platform app packages: when downloading or updating the app from the
Play Store, it will download an APK specifically tailored to your device's
platform. This reduces the download size from ~24MB to about ~*10MB*.
* Added a preference in Settings to restrict downloading reading list
articles only when on Wi-Fi, to conserve mobile data usage.
* A whole lot of miscellaneous bug fixes to improve stability and
performance (full change log
