Title: Select mock location app
Post by: Fred73000 on July 13, 2026, 14:23:41
In crowdin for Android, we have to translate the string "This app is not selected as the mock location provider. Go to Developer Options and select this app under "Select mock location app"."

No problem to translate this string but a problem on my phone :
- I activated in Android the Developer Options
- I restart my phone (not sure needed but...)
- in this menu, I found the option "Select mock location app"
- when I click on this option, Android shows me several app but not Locus

Why and how to have Locus in this option ?

Hello,
good question. Locus Map grew over the years and split into two main apps > Locus Map and Locus GIS. Some parts are shared, some aren't. Support for "Mock location" is only in the GIS app version.

Our Crowdin project, because of many shared parts in both apps, can't be simply split. Should I more clearly describe in the Crowdin files, if the texts are parts of Locus Map or not?

The email notification in Crowdin for new strings to translate already tells where the strings are used.
Recently there was the mock location in the GIS section. I left that open for someone else to tackle. :)
