  1. Whereas most geocaching uses the WSG standard, I've noticed that if you tap on the cache location it swaps format. Not sure if this is both what you're looking for and if it's just a new feature in the latest beta version I'm testing. 

    Personally I'm really chuffed with Cachly and normally find that a positive approach for new features is far more effective than s negative approach. One of the first features Nick added was the translation facility which we use a LOT especially when cache NG abroad. 

    Cache u laters

  2. We regularly go caching around Europe but are unable to read some cache pages when in a different language

    If there was a feature, say a flag by the hint or description, which if you clicked on, then it would copy that text and paste it into a Google translate window.

    I wouldn't suggest having a save facility, as the user could always do a screen shot to save.

    Rather than designing your own translation feature, I'm sure that Google have a facility for this that can be utilised, ideally with the auto language detect feature

    The key areas for the translate feature would be hint (why not ago decode the hint), then description and finally the logs. I would suggest a translate flag next to each log so they can be translated one at a time.

    While caching in Europe data charges are still quiet expensive, so a keep it simple solution would be ideal and reduce the data requirements. We just had a week in Germany, Belgium and Netherlands and it cost about $60 for 500mb which went rather quickly. I was copying the text, pasting into a translate app to translate and repeating.

    This may not give a perfect translation, but for cachers travelling to different countries, it would really help.

    Possibly have a switch in the settings to display the translate flag or not and then put the flag bottom right of the text after the description/hint/each log

    Many thx for listening and hope other users will find this useful, it would be a strong unique feature that no one else currently does
