Collect form navigation instructions in German

Hi everyone,

I'm very new to ODK but unfortunately all searches so far regarding my problem came up empty, so I'm hoping this isn't too stupid a question.

My forms are all in German, however, despite my tablet language being set to German, the start screen that explains the navigation at the beginning of filling a form remains in English.

How do I change that? I'd be happy to provide translations if that's the issue.

Many thanks in advance,
Nina

Our lists are moderated. If you post using a new e-mail account, it may
take a while for your new post to get approved.

Open the form and advance to the first screen with a prompt (the one after
the swipe-instructions screen).

Then choose the menu, and choose "Change Language"

Select the language you want.

This changes the current language for this form AND the default language to
use when next creating a new submission via fill-blank-form.

If you save a form as incomplete or complete, then edit saved form, you can
change the language used to display that specific saved form via this same
mechanism, but it leaves unchanged the language that will be used for
fill-blank-form.

Oh, and Collect picks whichever translation is first in your form as
the default language. It will also pick the last selected language on
a per-form basis, so you should only have to change it once per form
on your device.
