Make it easier to switch the app language in the Android app
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):

add the ability to easily change the app language in the Wikipedia app. (note that I'm not referring to the wiki language, which is already easily switchable.)

on newer versions of Android (13+), this could just be a link in the app settings menu to the relevant system settings menu. on older versions, however, this would require some sort of in-app selector, as the relevant system settings menu doesn't exist.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

at the moment, changing the app language of the Android app isn't easy or obvious.

on newer versions of Android (13+), you need to know to:

  • open the Settings app
  • go to Apps
  • find the Wikipedia app
  • and select the "Languages" option.

on older versions of Android, it seems you can't actually change the app language at all?

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

switching the app language (especially independently of the wiki/system language) can be useful for those who speak multiple languages, or for those just curious about how the app reads in another language.
