yes you are right, the program icon is awful, the problem is I'm no graphic
if someone would contribute a nice icon, it'd be a very big gift!

That would be great!
Currently it's a 45x45 png, but it's not correct.

See this article:

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_launcher.html

Ideally, there should be 4 sizes of the same icon:

ldpi (120 dpi) (Low density screen) 36 x 36 px
mdpi (160 dpi) (Medium density screen) 48 x 48 px
hdpi (240 dpi) (High density screen) 72 x 72 px
xhdpi (320 dpi) (Extra-high density screen) 96 x 96 px

<string name="gps_accuracy">Accuracy</string>
<string name="gps_latlon">Lat/Lon</string>
<string name="gps_altitude">Altitude</string>

[Johann2000]

Ive translated it german

I dont know what you exactly meant with "The language is defined by a two-letter ISO 639-1 language code, optionally followed by a two letter ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 region code (preceded by lowercase "r").", but i think you meant this:

"de-de"

And heres the extra thing:

<string name="conf_gps_info">GPS Informationen</string>
<string name="gps_time">GPS Zeit</string>
<string name="gps_accuracy">Genauigkeit</string>
<string name="gps_latlon">Lat/Lon</string>
<string name="gps_altitude">Höhe</string>
<string name="gps_speed">Geschwindigkeit</string>
<string name="gps_bearing">Peilung</string>
<string name="gps_satellites">Satelliten</string>

 

[elban]

Many thanks Johann!
Sorry I forgot to update strings.xml into dropbox.
I'll make a test apk with German asap.
Cheers!
