Have an iPhone 3g, version 4.2.1. Downloaded the Gospel Library. When I check "Choose Content Language" I see no languages in the window. Want to have the content available in Spanish. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Tony!
So when you open up the app on your iPhone, select "Manage Library" at the top of the screen. At the top right corner there is a "Languages" button. Select whatever language you want and then you can download that content in the desired language.
I hope that helped!!

This is a followup to my previous note. My device is an Ipad mini. I downloaded Gospel Library in English and it works just fine. But when I go to Gospel Library, nowhere do I see the option "Manage Library" and "Languages."

Could you please help me figure this out because I want to access Spanish Gospel Library options.

Thanks,

With the current version of Gospel Library (3.4.4) content languages are changed under Settings (on the title bar) > Content.

Now the button is in a different spot (on Android). On the main screen when you open it, tap the little globe icon in the bottom right corner and select your language.

You'll need to use the Gospel Library app to do this. If you are running on Windows 8 or later, you can use the Windows version of Gospel Library. Otherwise, you'll need to use the Android version of Gospel Library, and run it under some system that can run Android apps, such as ARC Welder (runs apps in the Chrome browser) or Blue Stacks. There are other options, but they are trickier to use. ARC Welder is simple to just run one app, whereas Blue Stacks is a better choice if you want a more complete Android environment.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

I have an Android phone and I just downloaded LDS library 4.3.0.15 (the latest version available). I see the language options and there are about 20 languages other than English. Many of these languages serve a small group of people. I did not see Spanish, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Mandarin or similar commonly used languages. Why would these language options not be there? Without these options I could get any of the tips or suggestions in this thread to work. I cannot download the Spanish language scriptures to work on my Android phone. Please advise.

It sounds like you might be looking at your Android language settings, not the Gospel Library content languages. Open Gospel Library, then tap the overflow menu (three dots) on the top right corner of the screen. You should see a "Languages" option in the menu, and there should be many more languages listed.

Some of the previous instructions in this thread apply to Gospel Library 2 for iOS, so they probably won't get you very far on Gospel Library 4 for Android. :)

I'm running 4.3.0.14. I don't see an update in the PlayStore. I see all the languages you're missing.

Is it possible to have the gospel library app in Spanish and English at the same time? I like to study some things in Spanish while using other books in English.

There are two ways you can do this in Gospel Library for iOS:

1) Create a new screen using the screens panel in Gospel Library (second button from the right at the bottom of the screen). You can have one screen in English and one screen in Spanish.

2) Create a custom collection and add books in English and Spanish that you use often. This is done by pressing the Edit button on the main library screen (top right), then tapping the floating "+" button to create the custom collection. Then, browse to any books you want to add to the collection, long press them, and choose "Add to."

It's not currently possible in iOS to have two windows or screens of the same app side-by-side in split view – that would allow you to have Spanish and English up simultaneously – but I'm crossing my fingers for iOS 12. :) For now, you can only have one language on the screen at a time, but using (1) or (2) you can switch between them quickly.

Thank you very much! Your instructions were very helpful! I set up two collections, one for English and one for a second language.

As someone has already mentioned above, you can use an android emulator like ARC Welder App of Nox Player to get the work done

Things have become much simpler since my last post. Now, all you have to do to open a Gospel Library screen in a different language is to open a new screen as usual and then go to settings (gear icon) > Language. Couldn’t be easier. My complements to the developers.
