New problems, added 2014-1-15:

This is nitpicking, but there are a couple of translations that could be improved:

• "Ricerca aggiornamenti" in Settings->About Device (I guess, it is "Info dispositivo" in Italian): this is a bit off, I guess the original is "Look for updates", but Ricerca means "Research" or "Search (hard) for something". I would use "Controlla aggiornamenti" (Which means "Check for updates") or "Cerca aggiornamenti" (Look for updates). But there is no need to search, the application knows perfectly fine where the updates are kept. :)

  • kept.

  • In the license text: "software gratuito/open source": gratuito means "free as in gratis", the accepted translation in Italian is "software libero".

  • Again a bit below: "codice origine" should be "codice sorgente". "Origine" means source, and I think it conveys the English meaning better, but for assonance, the Italian translation of "source code" is "codice sorgente".
