Sorry about that, Siebrand. We’ve been squeezing lots of work into very
short sprints and your help is most appreciated.
The Translatewiki ecosystem is amazing and it is astonishing that
translations can be done so quickly. I do understand the normal lead time
is two weeks, as opposed to two months, but most of the recent UI changes
were not anticipated even two weeks ago.
A big thanks to the translation community for jumping on this tight
deadline!

To all that have in the past contributed to
translation for the WLM Mobile
app: Please update your translations. NOW. DO NOT WAIT!

Translation is currently only complete in German, French, Dutch,
Macedonian and Spanish. All other languages have at least 13 untranslated
out outdated strings.
@phil: I'm very unhappy with the major UI language overhaul and additions
that were done last minute. This has left translators no time to localise
the app and provide fully localised user experience. But hey, at least in
the US people can use it, right?!*

understand what localisation requires in our movement's ecosystem.

Greetings Wiki Loves Monuments Community,
The final release of the WLM Android App has been published on the Google
Play store!
We've made many improvements in the user interface and added some
functional enhancements in the past week (and more are coming). Now is
the
time to download the app from Google Play and
tell us if there are any
issues before the contest starts in earnest.
The main known issues have to do with data in the monument database and
country-specific campaign configuration, which affect the way monuments
can
be found in some countries. We are happy to work with the country
organizers on improving these issues, within the realm of what is
possible.
Here is the link to the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia.wlm
This version uploads photos to Commons, so it is a good idea to upload
photos of real monuments.
Please write to us with any comments and give us a chance to make any
last-minute fixes. We will update the release as fixes are made.
Thank you for your cooperation and support, and let's make 2012 the best
year ever!
Best regards,
The WMF Mobile Team
