[sword-devel] Ezra Project 0.17.0-Beta3 - First working test candidate on Android

[Tobias Klein]

Hi Troy,

Thanks for the quick feedback and the screenshot. Looks like the i18n 
functionality has issues! I will try to get back to you with some questions 
to see what could cause this.
Talk to you soon!

Best regards,
Tobias
