Test Case: As the first version of my Phonegap app, I successfully gave language changing capability to the app. https://www.dropbox.com/s/y35svmfhl6i6o0z/SimpleRssFeedReader.apk Using this demo, you can change the language of app to English, Hungarian, Japanese and French. Now I am adding more languages to the app. First it will display a news list with brief descriptions. And after you click on an item will display full details and images of selected news. For this application I have used JQuery mobile and custome CSS file. Therefore we can use our own colors and styles. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Using this mobile app, users can view all articles posted in major openSUSE news sources news.oo and planet.oo very easily and quickly. And because of this is a phonegap application, app doesn't depend on the mobile platform. This allow users to use large variety of mobile devices. And all developers at the community, new comers who have interest to contribute openSUSE, and people who are using openSUSE products will be benefited with this app. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315044
