Description Amir E. Aharoni 2014-06-21 15:42:36 UTC
In the "read in another language" list, there are several problems:

1. The language names in English appear in a large font and the language's own name in a smaller font. I'd expect it to be the language's own name to appear in a large font. The name in English can appear in a smaller font. It may also make sense to show the name in the language of the device (it's likely to be already available in the device thanks to from CLDR).

2. The article name is not shown at all. It is shown in the mobile web site and it's a good feature.

Tested in version 2.0-alpha-2014-06-18, which I received from Yuvi by email (built by Yuvi especially for testing the whole i18n export.)

A patch to do this bit has been written and merged.

I would like to contribute on this bug.I can see the article name on the wikipedia beta app on my android device,could you please guide me on what the exact problem as it is being seen.

Hi Trilok,
Your contribution would be most welcome! The issue is that, when you click on "Read in other languages" in the app, it brings up a list of languages in which the article is available.  But it doesn't show the actual titles for the article in those languages, next to each language.  This should be easy to accomplish, since the titles are readily available when the list of languages is retrieved. We just need to show them in the list.
