But it also says that "The .apk file is saved on the external storage, but
all private user data, databases, optimized .dex files, and extracted
native code are saved on the internal device memory." so if I'm not wrong
we would only save the ~0.5MB that the APK takes.

In any case, I insist that there is a security problem that we need to
address if we are to store language pairs in external storage. See
