Description

We’d like to enhance the Weathernaut app by adding support for multiple languages. This will help make the app more accessible to users around the world.

Tasks:

  1. Identify key phrases and strings in the app that need translation.
  2. Create a structure for language resources (e.g., using strings.xml for Android).
  3. Translate the identified strings into the desired languages.
  4. Implement language selection functionality in the app settings.

Benefits:

  • Improves user experience for non-English speakers.
  • Increases the app's reach and usability.

Notes:

This task is a great opportunity for beginners to get involved in open source development. Feel free to ask any questions if you need guidance!
