@Harshad Well I will when I have some time but that's only useful for the UI/menu text as far as constellations go things are more complicated because the main body of nowadays astronomy (mainly relevant to planets constellations etc ) roots mainly from ancient greek scripts(Which eitherhave been verified on modern days or modified due to new findings) , but even for the modified parts it still makes sense to include them e.g in "ancient Greek view" Crux would be part of the Centauros constellation by that I mean there is some research and modifications that has to be done on the backend of the app which crowdin.com just can't facilitate
Also ancient greek names are not just local (for modern Greeks) but have a certain gravity (no pun intended ) on their own and could lead users to google them or what not and learn interesting astronomical historical or even mythological trivia because of that so it makes sense to even have both the modern scientific name(in the case the name is not already greek) and the ancient greek name without the need to change the language in the settings (Also I did not find that option but you mentioned that the interface has been translated to other languages, I guess the app changes to the Android/device native/default language if it exists within the app but that is very limited, it would be better to add a language setting in the menu )
