I'm doing localization for cell-modem-ui (Cellular Modem Control Buttons) and I've gathered nice set of translations in
this thread
.
I'm facing a dilemma now: while having localized application name is nice, it makes really hard for people to talk about that app. While english talking (or people who use english as their device language) know app as its original name, how can Finnish people for example know what app it is on their device if it suddenly reads "Puhelinmodeemin hallintanapit" or something similar?
Does it make sense only to localize the package description, but not app name?
