A screenshot of the FlashLight developer comments page.

Google finally added comment support in the developer area. This has been a welcome addition because developers can finally see what comments are being left by people in other countries. On the phone, you can only see comments in the market that match your language.

It’s been fun trying to figure out what language I’m reading, and using Google translate to decode it. Here are a few of my favorites:

  • Отлично! Как раз сегодня выключили свет. Очень помогает
    (Russian)
    Excellent! Just today, turned off the light. It helps
  • 就是有的颜色稀里古怪的
    (Chinese)
    Is rare in some weird colors
  • A mí esta aplicación tan simple me viene de perlas
    (Spanish)
    To me this application is as simple pearl me
  • すぐ起動できるし、けっこう使える!
    (Japanese)
    You can start right away , pretty useful !
  • Bellina come torcia,piccola e senza pubblicità…secondo me la migliore
    (Italian)
    Bellina as a flashlight , small and without advertising … I think the best
  • 완전좋아요
    (Korean)
    What’s going on completely

The translations aren’t the best in some cases, but it looks like my app has been well received around the world.
