Dear all,
of course, offline Wikivoyage is a really nice tool. You can use it everywhere -- for instance in desert regions without any online connection. And it's a good replacement for heavy guide books.
But why there are no similar tools in other languages than English, why not in German or French?
It is very important to have up to date guides. But the last Kiwix archives were made in the beginning of May. In former times they were created monthly. For instance, in this three-months period about 20.000 updates were made in the German edition of Wikivoyage.
Best regards Roland

Dear all,
With Summer vacations in full swing, we’ve just released an offline version of WikiVoyage specifically dedicated to Europe!
The app runs on Android and can be found at the Google Store [1]. Other regions will follow, this is a first shot at getting something rather lightweight and region-specific.
Feel free to download, rate… and go visit something!
Best regards, Stephane

I think the people at Kiwix would be happy to have more people helping them make ZIMs.
