Another thing I noticed now (I think this may have been a problem before
too): on second startup the translation direction said "<from> → <to>",
where clicking the arrow gave "There is no language direction from
<from> to <to>", and clicking "<to>" gave the heading "Translated to"
and no language. Only clicking "<from>" has an effect. Perhaps the
buttons should be "grayed out" or something when they're not useful.

Also, a little UI request: if there's only one possible direction, it
would make sense to auto-pick that; and if there's only one possible
<to> for a certain <from>, that should be auto-picked on selecting that
<from>.

I mostly agree (either see what feature requests people make, or at
least have a simple base that others can build on). I think SD card
installation would be good though; on my Desire I had to remove some
stuff before being able to install. The app does 1) work well on older
phones and 2) work without a net connection, so I'm guessing SD install
would make it fit well into the older-phone-market (as well as work
great on newer phones).

Yes, thanks Jacob – and Mikel and Arink; offline translation on a phone
is quite awesome :-)
