Gronze App Translation

[CTLawGal]

I've been trying to figure out how to use the Gronze app and as a first step I need to translate into English - I searched topics on the Forum, thought I found what I was looking for, and Yay! I was able to do it on my laptop, but can't figure it out for the app on my iPhone. I posted a query to the thread, but the thread was a year or two old and so far no responses, so I thought I'd ask here again.

I am moderately computer literate, but not so very - I'm pretty sure I'll need Gronze for the Gebennensis, maybe not so much for the Podiensis as Buen Camino app has Le Puy en Velay route. And, as I understand it, it's best to download the maps? I think I know how to do that, but then don't know where to find them on my phone...

Any technical assistance is appreciated, or maybe there's a YouTube or something I should watch?

Thanks in advance!

Selecting +INFO on the bottom right brings you to the corresponding Gronze page in your browser, which your browser can automatically translate.

(This works for me on my Android phone with the Chrome browser.)

Thanks for replying - I have Apple iPhone, when I open the Gronze App, I see a map with the routes, but am not seeing anything like +INFO to select. There's a symbol at the top that brings down a menu (in Spanish, of course), but I don't see something to translate. When I click on the route, it does offer some info on La Via Gebennensis, with a +INFO, but when I click on that, it takes me to Gronze.com and I'm still not seeing how to get to translation in English....

I Just install Google Chrome from the app store it will translate it to English

when I open the Gronze App

I simply use the Gronze website, not the app. (You do need data for the internet.) I use offline maps from other apps.

For the Gronze Maps app on iPhone and iPad:

There is no way to have the Spanish text in the app itself translated into English.​

​

When you click on a Camino on the map or on an albergue on the map, a window opens with text in Spanish and +Info to select. Tap on +Info and you leave the Gronze Maps app and enter the Gronze website. You are now in Safari.​

​

In Safari, look for AA (it's near or next to the lock icon and the text gronze.com). Tap on it: a window opens where you can chose the option Translate Website. Then select English.​

​

This will also work in Safari on Apple desktops and Apple laptops. You don't need Chrome.

The Gronze Map app also needs a data connection to work.

Actualmente, Gronze Maps solo funciona con conexión a Internet. Si temporalmente falla la conexión, se indicará con un mensaje "Sin Red" hasta que vuelva a estar disponible.

Translation:

Currently, Gronze Maps only works with an internet connection. If the connection temporarily fails, a "No Network" message will be indicated until it is available again.

Correct. And everybody can check this for themselves if they have the Gronze Maps app installed. Without a network connection the app will not even start up.

Hi CTLawGal
Open the app and pick your route, select info bottom right
next page in bottom bar with gronze.com on the left is a box with two lines below
press this and an option to translate to english is there
I hope this helps

What I'd really like is a way of translating Gronze which doesn't also translate the place names. Having a destination of "the bean" doesn't really do justice to the effort it took me to get there!

Are you using an iphone ?
My reply was for that question

 

[BarbaraW]

Android. Some of the translations are quite amusing and help my Spanish vocabulary.

 

[Joan Fiol (Gronze.com)]

For information and planning a camino, you should use the Gronze.com website. The app is not suitable for this. The app is a navigator track, it is only useful for "on the road".

Whenever possible, we will make sure that browsers and automatic translators do not translate the names of the towns or the names of the accommodations.

Step by step, we will improve Gronze. The way is long, and never easy... ;-)
