Notifications have started arriving in Chinese

[apbarratt]

I've checked with a group on Facebook to ask if folk are receiving these on the official app too. If they are not, it may in fact be that the server will only send out Chinese notifications from now on and is using a locale pack locally on the app to translate them. If that is the case, we'll need to create a similar locale pack here too, which isn't a terrible idea anyway to be honest as it will allow for expansion into other non-officially supported languages also (and frankly better translations in general) :)

Seems I'm back to English after about 28 hours. Most odd. I still like the idea of a locale pack though just to get better translations, it's a shame we're not getting a universal error format for easy translation though as there must be quite a few languages that server could be spitting out messages in.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I did some research on this too, just forgot to post the results here:

• I started to receive notifications in Chinese by that time too, both in this integration and the Vmoto Soco app (the one with dark background).
• I checked with some folks in the Spanish Super Soco Telegram group and some of them confirmed they were receiving notifications in Spanish in the new Vmoto app (the one with white background and aqua blue accent color). I wasn't able to log in with that app, so I couldn't check myself.
• After a few days notifications were back to usual English.

I'll try to decompile Vmoto's new app whenever I have the time and check if there's some mapping between those messages and the user's language, and will report back. If that's the case it would be nice to implement locales for this integration, as you mention. 👍

As it's been a while, I'm going to close this issue, but will reopen it if it happens again :)
I may open a ticket in the future for locale based stuff but not really urgent right now.
