It would be sensible for modules to be grouped by language using the language
names looked up from the langage code with reference to the entries in the file
locales.d
I wonder why that method isn’t already used by the Bishop app ?
Aside: When PocketSword is next updated, it ought to be compiled with the very
latest version of locales.d so that languages not currently named in this way
are shown properly.
There may still be a need for other front-ends to catch up with the latest
version thereof.
