❓ FAQ

Do I need to translate all strings?

Ideally yes. Missing strings fall back to English.

What about placeholders?

%s = text, %d = number. Keep position or use %1$s for numbering.

How do I test my translation?

Build app, install, go to Android Settings → Apps → Simple Notes → Language.

🙏 Thank You!

Every translation helps Simple Notes Sync reach more people.
