Collaboratively translate Android apps with “String”
Its taken me aaaaaaaaaaggggggggggeeeeeeees to find a solution for the localization (translation) with version control problem so I’m happy to announce that the (Google) search is finally over!
String (still in beta, Google style) by my gengo resolves all of the nagging problems that were stopping Android Agenda Widget from getting localized:
- Change control
- Collaboration
- Simplicity
Of course it’s possible to get change control and collaboration with subversion/git etc but this requires technical translators who are probably going to be busy with their own apps. The alternative, sending rar/zip files full of xml to every generous translator, is cumbersome along with causing unnecessary overheads in time.
All you need to do is upload your values xml files to their server and you too can enjoy on the fly progress, history and private or public projects. String makes the translation process a breeze for anyone, not just the technical users.
At the moment Android Agenda Widget translation is still in initial stages. Once I understand all the ins and outs of String I’ll make the project public as an example!
