Multi-language support

[MarvinNorway]

Hi @dmarcs,
We love this component and would love it even more if there was support for other languages.
How can we make this happen? We'd be open for submitting a pull request, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on how you would like this implemented first.
Thanks,
Marvin

You can change language in Xcode settings. If you're talking about changing language once the app is running, I'm not sure since I haven't looked into whether or not it's possible.

Thanks, will give that a try. Would Xcode also cover Android? My colleague tells me it’s for iOS only.

Hello @dmarcs! The language of our product is determined build-time, so currently we are not planning to be able to switch languages during runtime. In your opinion what is the best way to be able to apply internationalisation to document-scanner ? We are building both for iOS and Android.

@dmarcs Is that what you mean?

Is there a similar setting for Android?

@dmarcs We would be happy to provide a pull request if something needs to be changed. We would very strongly prefer having official multi-language support in the app, rather than just adding this in a local fork.
Please let me know what you think about that.

The document scanner doesn't display words on Android, so you don't need to worry about translating that. I can't remember exactly which Xcode setting, but I got it to work here WebsiteBeaver/react-native-document-scanner-plugin#1.
