change the entire UI to another language

[XandrexOSM]

hello, is it possible to allow the user to change the language of the entire app please? Maybe using Weblate?
I am interested for the French language, and I am already used to contribute to Weblate for other projects.

Sure, just translate this file and upload it here.

I added an XML header to manage the accents.
strings-FR-fr.xml.txt

but the names of the birds will remain in English?

[woheller69]

There is a French translation for bird names. If I set French as language, these are shown.

How can I change the language to have french names? My phone is using Android 12.

French should either be your default language in Android settings - languages. Or French should at least be on that list and select French in Android settings - apps - whoBIRD
