Hi
After upgrade to this version I noticed something very new and suprising.
The interface of my device changed to my native language which is polish. I do have CurrentLocale and ExtraLocales both set to "pl".
Translation is not perefect but almost everything is nicely done. Major mistake is with "on" and "off" options in menu which are translated as "W dniu" ("on day" in english) and "Zniżki" (probably from something like "50% off price") while it should be "Włączone" ("turned on") and "Wyłączone" ("turned off"). The captions sometimes don't fit in the space intended for them and menu fonts don't have some polish characters so fallback font is used which looks ugly (but we can deal with this by uploading different fonts in place of Georgia and Avenir by a kobopatch)
There is no option for polish language in menu after upgrade (checked this on vanilla device) but setting ExtraLocales to pl in config file is enough to get Extra: pl and choosing it changes the language to polish. It can be of course changed back to any other officially supported language and changed again to polish.
It looks like the polish version is being prepared but is not fully tested yet and therefore unofficial and unavailable.
Have anybody else noticed something like that with their language not officialy supportded by Kobo?
