are you looking for design ideas or someone to give you pointers?

I would check out dribbles and figma examples of apps onliine.

Then, if any other app even remotely similar to yours in function is already on the stores, check those out for inspiration too. If Microsoft can do it to Notion, you can too!

Make it the same but better and call it something else! Design the crap outta it!

You should show me the `design` of your app so I can enlighten it a bit if you don’t mind.

So maybe you should make the buttons smaller, because for me, it’s quite big. Maybe you should also add some images related to your app. And if you would really like to, you can add background color too. That’s pretty much all I got. But your app it amazing so far(even though I can’t understand Turkish)!

Don’t forget to take inspiration from other people’s apps.

i can see it’s some kind of self therapy app and i assume all data you need is self contained inside the app. where does the 2nd language come in - do you want that as a feature? such that by selecting a language in a list, everything in the app, buttons, labels, name, etc are translated to that new language? it can be done with a lot of work. what exactly is your question?

</div>

define a string, say **sd** , as all the literals of all all screens, delimited by, say $. make 1 for each language. for example, for english  
**sd** =“Scr1 Title$Start$Settings$Scr 2 Title$Go$Show List$Back…”  
the idea is at the very start (at scr1 on\_start), you would set **s** =makelist from **sd** using delimiter $. s[1] will be your screen title, s[2] will be “Start”,. etc., s[37] may be scr 7’s 2nd button’s text.  
on\_start of Scr1, you would set scr1.title to **s** [1], set start\_button.text to **s** [2]…  
load this string **sd** into **lang\_sd** [1] (first entry of array)

for Turkish, use parallel values., load **sd** =“Ekran 1 Baslik$Beslat$Ayarlar$Ekran 2 Baslik$Git$…” and copy this to **lang\_sd** [2] (2nd entry of array), do the same for any other language you want to add.

you need a stored variable lang\_idx that points to 1=english, 2=turkish, 3=spanish, etc. such that it is initialized per desired language.

i hope this makes sense.
