Just wanted to add to this (yes, I know this is over a week old - I'm about
that far behind with email atm):
PocketSword does a check on launch for what locale the device is set to. It
will then find that SWORD locale and will copy that (and only that) locale to
the correct locales.d folder so as to keep app launch time low. I find that
PocketSword also takes a fair bit longer to start with all the available
locales in the locales.d folder. We have to do a new check at each subsequent
app launch, as the user can change their device locale between launches
(switching the device locale will automatically force-quit all open apps, I
have found, which is handy for me)... :)
I've been considering how to speed up the loading of the locales, and I have
already made several optimisations to SWORD for use on iOS devices (which is
all in the mercurial repo on bitbucket). Hopefully I'll have time to do some
more of these so I can (hopefully, eventually) use the full set of UTF8 locales
in PocketSword at the same time. :)
Thanks, ybic
