A sister in our congregation has exactly the same issue. She has an Oppo Reno 2z running Android 11. Her husband has an Oppo X5 with no problems. After tapping on her screen a few times she gets the option to write the required info but in the background the option to chose a language is visible. It shoudn't be there.

Here's a workaround that might work: Go to the Persons information > Assign. See if he is a Life and Ministry Meeting Student. If not tick the box. A Personal Pin is created and he can now connect to the congregation with NW Publisher. To the right you can create an Task: Ipad. Tick it. That asignment appears in the Schedule > Duties section. You can select him for a duty and send App Data. He now should receive a notification. Let us know if that worked.

Go to Territories > Territory settings > Tick Allow Self Assign Territories. Chose who is allowed to Self assign:

Are you an adminstrator? An adminstrator should update first.

You can change something in a Territory. Add a point or comma somewhere and send App-data.

The app translation is here. 3.6.0. So the new update is likely today or tomorrow.

A new update will likely be released this week. The new translation file for Dutch was uploaded yesterday. No new app translation yet but I'm expecting it also.

We have 8 LDC Servants at the moment because of a renovation. They are in the same situation. We didn't assign them tot a fieldservicegroup. They are only here to work and they go home on Saterday and return on Tuseday. They only visit the midweek meeting. Add all the Names and info of the publishers under Persons. Select the publisher and then select the tab Spiritual. On the right side below there is the following option: If you tick the box it will solve your problem. Go to the Assign tab and tick all the assignments he/she can give. There is also an option to connect him/her with the congregation through the app. The name is in the list and there is a personal pin.

You should make a group called Pioneers. There you can add and remove Pioneers. When you make an event select the Pioneers group. They will be notified. When you did that and nothing happened, make a small adjustment in the event. Add a dot somewhere and send app data. This should fix it.

If you add a Child as Person (Child) and tick Life and Ministry Meeting Student under Assign a Personal Pin is created and he/she can connect with the app. If assignments are ticked he/she can see his/her assignemnts and receive notifications. That is, of course, when they have a device to connect with.

You can start with a translation yourself just to try: Go to the translation files root on your computer. C:\Program Files\New World Scheduler\ProgramData Find your language abbreviation Copy the files to a seperate Map as a backup of the original files. Copy them once more to a seperate Map where you can make adjustments. Open ProgramUI. Start making changes in the translation. After completion copy the file to the original Program folder. Start the Program and see if the translation is to your liking. The only thing is: After an update you will have the wrongly translated Program UI again, so you will need to make changes again. Simply recopy your translated file may cause problems when they added lines. But that's solved when you start editing the translation file in GoogleDocs. Give it a go!

It wil take some effort since there are 2500 lines to translate, but it is worth doing it. The first part is about translating the specific program terms, the lower part is mostly textmessages. So I would start with the first part. You will see you will have a pleasant translation to work with relative quickly. Usually there will be a program update after the 20th of a month and before the 1st of the next month. And even then they sometimes forget to implement the translation. Just be patient. When there is a new major update you will see some new Google translate lines. Simply look for the new lines and translate them correctly. And don't forget to request to help translate the NWPublisher app. NW Scheduler | Improve NW Publisher app Translation

I got this message yesterday: "The regional relief committee reports that material damage has been reported to our brothers and sisters in the disaster area, but that no one has died or is missing. We encourage you to keep your emergency package up to date. If further assistance is needed from our side, this will be reported." "There is also a relief committee present in the area"

You can adjust it anyway you like. There is no reason to stick closely to the English translation. Alltough it should cover the functionality underneath. I started helping a brother with the Dutch translation a few years ago. We now have a Dutch language support group of 6 brothers from Belgium and Holland and now we have a very good translation. I always try to keep in mind: If I were a brother with not much knowledge of computers, would I understand what is meant with the translation? How would I need to translate it for him to understand it right away? That's how we have translated it. We started with about 3 congregations 3½ years ago and now there are dozens in Holland and Belgium. But I agree that the tone of the brothers could be more friendly in their reply. But I can also understand it when thousands of congregations in more then 170 countries and in 100 languages are using the program, it is very difficult to reply to all the emails that come from al around the world. 24/7. That's why there is an option in the Program called Help. There you will find a list of brothers that are able to help in your Language. Maybe you can start there if you have any questions and/or need support.
