===== Language =====
==== App language ====

Language of all texts in the app - titles, descriptions...\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:settings:settings_lang1.png?nolink |}}\\ <wrap info>Changing language requires internet connection - other language packs are not part of the app.</wrap>

The language list displays also availability of particular languages in percents. //Help with translation// button in the bottom shortcuts to **[[https://crowdin.com/project/menion|Locus crowdsourced translation page]]**. If you are interested in Locus development and have proper language skills, you are welcome!

  * //MGRS// - military coordinate system
  * //Maidenhead// - Maidenhead Locator System
  * //Open Location Code// - OLC, also known as **plus codes**, encodes location into a form that is easier to use than showing coordinates in the form of latitude and longitude. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Location_Code|More info here >>]]
  * //UTM// - Universal transverse Merkator

=== Czech republic ===
  * //S-JTSK// - Systém jednotné trigonometrické sítě katastrální - a rectangular coordinate network used in geodesy in the Czech Republic and Slovakia

==== Lat/Lon format ====
WGS Latitude/longitude format to display:
  * //xx,xxxxx°//
