Hi Itzik, thanks Cristian,
1. We are dependent on the phone's language setting. I do realize that
phones in some countries do not support the local language, which is a sad
state of affairs.
Maybe we can give an option via the app settings or at first opening of the
app to select the language?
2. We are dependent on the data available in the monuments database and in
some cases there is no link to a Wikipedia article. In
other cases, there
is a link to an article that doesn't exist, which we render as a redlink.
We want to enhance this further to search for articles on Wikipedia when no
link is available, but there wasn't time. In regards to description text,
we have seen some text added to monument names in some countries, otherwise
there is no description.
Really? I thought many of monuments have short text as description... In
any case, we can't show the text when he is available?

2. Why the app doesn't show more information
about the monuments -
specially
the description text or link to the article?
I am not one of the devs but I think the answer is because there was
not so much time for feature requests, I suppose... the schedule was
extremely tight but there are lot of ideas in the air.
