I saw this too, and agree it isn't ideal. I'm not particularly
familiar with Android, but might one of the following ideas be
better?

- Have separate packages ("apps") for each training file (I don't
  know if the Google Play store would like that, or if everything is
  too sandboxed for it to work)
- Just include all of the languages in the app, or in a
  multilingual (i.e. non-english) version. Is space for apps a
  problem on Android devices? I naively assumed they would have many
  GiB of space.

Are you planning to release the source code under a free license?
That would be amazing!

Thanks for this work Renard, it's great to see :)
