Continuing from #26, more feedback as a naive user :-) When I click Proceed on the first screen and open the second screen, at first I see this for a bit (again, sorry about the huge size):

for a bit, before the list of dictionaries gets loaded. (Maybe there needs to be some UI for the loading state.) After that, it looks like this:

Screenshot_20200704-132630

Some minor issues:

  • No space between the second sentence (ending “install.”) and the third (starting “Based”)

  • the two backslashes in don\\'t

  • All the “0 archives” etc can probably be omitted if it's 0. Also, the message can probably be simpler as not all that information is needed: “We have unselected N dictionaries that we remember installing from earlier. You can reselect.”

  • The order of archives seems random (it's different each time), rather than matching the order of dictionary types from the previous screen

  • If you get to this screen and realize “oops, I chose too much on the previous screen” and click on the back button (either on the phone or at the top), the previous screen starts with everything selected again, rather than your earlier selection.

  • The headings (dictionary types) are also checkboxes just with a different background, and they start out unselected even though everything under them is selected. Does Android provide some better UI here?

The more major issues IMO:

  • What is an archive? Can it be called a dictionary?

  • The archive (dictionary?) names, with long timestamps and file sizes, are somewhat intimidating, or at least take a bit of time to parse and understand. Would be nice to have a mapping somewhere and show more human-friendly names for them. (E.g. I still don't understand the difference between “apte-1890__2020…” and “apte-sa__2019…” both within sa-head/en-entries, and it would be useful to have some text for them.)
