there is no other language than Hindi in Indian languages. I needed Tamil lang. but i cant choose it. why not adding them. India has many language not only Hindi pls try to change it. as Hindi speaking population is more in India its not that everyone can understand Hindi. I was really disappointed in the first of logging in. pls change or else i would like uninstall it.

It's a beautiful app, but there is only one question here: why when I clicked on the word and got a translation above it I can't see the translations on the rest of the same words? e.g. I've clicked on "permission" word and there are 5 more "permission" words on the page. Why I see the translation only one the first word? Is there any chance to add the translations on the rest of the same words? Anyway we can emphasis all of them
