i'm holding off til i know if a tweaked evasi0n is working still. i dont think german will fit on that unlock text 
to my surprise i havent noticed anything being cut off on my german iOS 7 thus far.

i was just joking
but seriously, my native lang is croatian and while it doesnt have very long words, i keep all of my electronics in english. it just doesnt sound right in other languages which is logical because all those words used in electronic devices were originally english.
translating languages is neither completely correct nor practical, i hope some day we'll put all these language barriers to rest and choose only one official language for the whole world. hopefully english. its definitely the easiest.
Yeah, it would definitely be easier, but the whole Earth population won't start speaking fluent English overnight.
In the mean time, it'd be cool if Apple simply added:
Code:
unlockLabel.bounds.size.width = 320;
unlockLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;It seems like they don't always test their stuff in foreign languages, which they should since tests should be based on worst case scenarios.
Cant say Ive had any personal experience, but seeing as German and the Slavic languages are much more closely related to English than any of them are to French, Id imagine itd be easier to make those work. Like I said, though, Ive not seen the interface in any other Germanic languages, so thats just a guess.

What were they thinking when they added the blur behind the label? That's so ugly.
is anyone else getting the failed message transmissions with iMessage?
I have been getting a lot with these past two betas.

Nope. In German every other button title looks like 'Button T...'. That's why I've set my phone to English
It seems like that was one of the known issues mentioned at least in the last beta, and based on the release notes for this beta it looks like this issue should be fixed now.
iOS 7.1 has definitely improved my air/5s a ton from 7.0.4, I now just have a few websites that seem to freeze up the screen.
(If I go to theweathernetwork.ca and look up the weather for a city, I can exit safari but my whole screen I can't tap on anything, it's like it's frozen) then I have to exit and "kill" the app in the background and close the tab for Safari to become usable again

I like the new shiny slide to unlock and shutdown text. Looks much nicer. Apple has tweaked everything in 7.1. Everything has more contrast and is more clear to see and understand. I like the changes so far a lot.
Another discovery:
Text messages make your iPhone do a single subtle vibration when you're already in Messages.app, rather than the usual strong two-tone vibration. Not sure if this was added before beta 4 though since I didn't test the others.
So, just 'bzz" instead of "BZZZZ BZZZZ".
You still get the usual vibration when your phone is locked though.

and thats why english should be mandatory on electronic devices. kids will learn it in a few weeks, elders in a few months and in a few years all the people using electronic devices can communicate without barriers.
i would be a 'good' hitler, wouldnt i?
that was previously added while youre in a call, pre 7.1, not sure about the messages
I am not sure if the German iOS 7.1b4 label to unlock is cut off which is "> Zum Entsperren streichen", but the French version really seems to be problematic. Hope Apple fixes that on every level with every language.
Although the translation itself is ridiculous, because even in Germany there would be shorter ways to translate "> slide to unlock".
I tried nin.com on my iPad Air and it still crashes. Having said that, Apple has muchly improved Safari on 7.1. Tab refreshing is less of an issue now, and only a few sites crash Safari. Much better than before.
What remains to be seen of course is, if beta 4 has improved anything even further.

That's too early to tell. Let me try nin.com on my iPad
I did a reset on my iPad and I've gone a whole hour without a Safari crash.

Seriously? Hitler jokes?
We are talking about languages including German, okay, no need to remind us of the dark past of Germany, even if it was just a joke... This man killed millions of people and other nations still associate every single German with Hitler; although we neither support his behaviour nor have ANYTHING to do with what he did...
