🌏 An invitation / 邀请

你好！非常感谢你制作了这个 AppImage！👋

我们注意到这个应用的界面或说明文档主要是中文的。AppImage 目录面向全球用户，默认以英文显示界面的应用可以被收录，并有机会触达世界各地更多的用户。

想请教一下：这个应用是否也可能对国际用户有帮助？如果是的话，作者是否愿意考虑把英文设为默认语言呢（例如根据系统语言环境 LANG / LC_* 自动选择，在非中文环境下回退到英文）？这样它就能被收录到目录中，让更多国际用户发现并使用它。

当然，在中文环境下依然可以默认显示中文——我们只是希望在其他语言环境下能有英文界面。🙏

Hi there, and thank you for making this AppImage! 👋

We noticed that this application's interface or documentation appears to be predominantly in Chinese. The catalog serves a worldwide audience, and applications that show an English interface by default can be included and reach many more users internationally.

Might this application also be of interest to users outside China? If so, would you consider making English the default — for example by following the system locale (LANG / LC_*) and falling back to English outside a Chinese locale? That would let us include it in the catalog so that many more people around the world can discover and enjoy it.

Chinese can of course remain the default in a Chinese locale — we would simply love an English fallback elsewhere. Thank you so much, and we look forward to your thoughts! 🙏

Thank you for the invitation and for reviewing hongguo-drama for the AppImage catalog. Yes, I would be happy to make the application more accessible to international users and support the language behavior you described.

I am planning this for version 6.4:

• On first launch, the application will detect the system language. Chinese locales will use Chinese; all other locales will default to English, including the fallback when the locale cannot be determined.
• A language selector in Settings will let users override the automatic choice and switch between Chinese and English.
• The selected preference will be saved and restored on subsequent launches. Users will also be able to return to the system-based default.

This will cover the application interface, rather than translating the drama titles, descriptions, or video content supplied by the content providers. The language support is currently being developed, so I am not claiming that the existing AppImage already meets this requirement.

Once version 6.4 is ready and the updated AppImage has been checked, I will follow up here so that it can be reviewed again for inclusion. Thank you for the suggestion and for helping make the application easier to discover internationally!
