> "simulate audio button" action stops working. I noticed that part of text of action stays in previous language - for example "Media Next" changes to "Média Next" instantly after changing language (partly my language but "Next" stays in English). After I reconfigure an action it changes to Média Další (fully my language).

> I need to remove these actions and configure them again to start again. (sometimes remove is not needed and I just need to configure them again).

- Just changing MacroDroid language can propably also result into these issues (restart also needed for bug to work).

I know propably noone is changing language on daily basis, but I still find this bug important to fix. Language should not affect actions in any way.

MacroDroid is all weird about changing languages, for example if I have my system language Czech (my native), but MD in English, than all MD is in english except for some parts of "edit macro" screen and titles of some screens. And this is not because that strings aren't translated in MD. They are.

I checked MD log. It's logging action as normal but it's not working.

This media button bug is also a thing in another languages. I also tryed with Polish.


As you can see configuration is in Czech but everything else in English.

There are still a few issues when changing the language dynamically in the app. This has been an enormous issue to resolve because the app was never designed for this in the first place, therefore a lot of the configuration strings get cached so they are still served in the original language. I've been resolving a lot of these issues as they are reported but I'm sure there are still more lurking around.

I shall fix the control media action text for the next update.

It shouldn't be an issue if you just kill the Macrodroid Process and restart it.
