+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>
-  * //TTS Engine// - list of installed engines and corresponding languages. May require additional Google Play downloads in case your language is not supported.
-  * //Locus Map// - currently set application language. It is important to have identical localization of your TTS engine and Locus Map so that TTS works properly. Otherwise you will be notified that the selected language is not supported.
+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!
