Custom font support (see here for more details)

For some languages, characters appear as empty squares instead of proper characters: This happens when the Android device does not have the appropriate font installed. Now, with Better Translator (1.2.0+), you can overcome this problem by placing an appropriate font file on your SD card (or “external storage”). For example, if Indic (e.g. Hindi) characters are not being displayed properly then place this file on your SD card in this directory:

Minor bug fixes (primarily concerning error message when showing ads)

Unfortunately paid Android apps are currently unavailable in China & Taiwan amongst others (for a full list of paid-app countries see here although it’s not always up-to-date). Android Market determines your “country” by checking which country your sim card comes from. If it comes from a paid-app supported country then you will be able to view, buy and download paid apps. Otherwise, they will be hidden away from you. So, the simplest way to buy paid apps is to temporarily swap out your Chinese/Taiwanese sim card for another sim card from a paid-app country.

As most of you know, paid Android apps are not available in China or Taiwan, but there are a couple of tricks to work around this (such as the sim card swap). The key point to know is that (at least for smartphones), your location is determined by the country of your sim card. So, if you are using a US, UK, German etc sim card then you will see paid apps no matter where you are.
