[android-developers] Re: A user of pirated? version seeking support

app on a forum, installed in on my English locale phone and it was all
in Russian, so it wasn't just a metter of adding ru folder, it
completely replaced english strings. Pirates were kind of fair, it was
a free ad supported version of my app, and it still had ads, all the
links in tact and everything properly translated.
