Hello developers,this is a index about XDA members, who wants to translate your apps. The most easiest way would be to put a link in this thread, which is visible by public, please read info in the third post, there`s a Github repository, created by our estimated contributor @Primokorn, where you can offer your strings for translation.
You can use Crowdin, Google Docs, MoPad (Etherpad), Transifex, OneSky, POEditor etc. Github can be a solution for small projects where devs provide the full strings.xml file. There`s even a small tutorial.
Other recommendations how to handle translations or even this thread are always welcome, please post them in the thread to be discussed.
Also the XDA community offers following free services: App Tester Index, List of themers and designers as well as Community help with marketing.
Users: Developers need you. Post in this thread and I will add you to this index. Thank you!
1. Post here, indicating the language(s) you can translate apps into. Don't hesitate if there is already a translator for your language, it's better to have more than one for each language.
2. Subscribe to the thread to get the latest news and app translate requests.
3. If there is a request for translating an app, do it. If you think you can improve an existing translation, dive into its discussion.
Developers: You need an app translation
1. Please make the thread dedicated to your app on XDA. Post a link here, provide any other details which can help our translators (Google Play url, examples etc). If you want to use it, there`s a special Github repository.
2. Thread subscribers can see your app translation request quickly, translate your app and report to your thread. Please, save resources and only ask for translation if your app is "almost" finished, you add features or make a major update. Do not ask, if your app still is changing the labeling very often.
3. On this point, after the translation, please be kind and write something in this thread like "well done, we created the perfect app"
Credit Names:
If you app developers want to thank your translators, you can place their credit names (if available) somewhere in your app, for example in About -> Credits -> Translators. See the credit names behind the name of the XDA members in the list down below.

Older announcementes:
08 Feb 2016: Early spring cleaning: read this
15 Aug 2015: A big and warm THANK YOU to all active translators, developers who seek for help and supporters of this thread somewhere around XDA. New translators and suggestions to improve processes are always very welcome.
31 Jan 2015: We have our own official badge.
28 Jan 2015: Third time we were mentioned at the XDA News site (formerly known as XDA portal)
06 Jan 2014: Cleaning procedure finished.
22 Dec 2014: Winter cleaning time. All inactive translators will be moved to the inactive tranlators post soon.
12 Jan 2014: All XDA internal links of the first two posts should be encrypted now (We want HTTPS on XDA!).
09 Sep 2013: Once again this thread was featured on the XDA portal. Thanks to everybody who is working in/on this thread to bring developers and translators together. Also, again, please be patient due to the overwhelming feedback via thread posts, e-mails and PMs. Thank you.
30 Jun 2013: As said before in a recent post, I removed all inactive translators. Only those who wanted to be still listed as active, remain in the first post, all others are now in the second post as former translators. If you want and can contribute with translations, drop a message. Thanks.
19 Jun 2013: Those translators with an underlined name confirmed to stay available as a translator for further translations. Those ones are important for us, but the others are always welcome again, because it's the translators spare time, he spends!
16 Jun 2013: Try to wake up the translation folks. Translators, this is your wakup call.
30 May 2013: Again, @nikwen started a thread for helping developers with marketing. Also linked down below with other helpful threads.
18 May 2013: Starting to change the links of the translators to "mention links". It's easier to link to user profiles. Or does anybody see a problem here?
10 May 2013: You think after app translation you're done? But what's about the outfit of your app? @nikwen recently started a List of themers and designers. Go over there, meet themers and designers and get your app a sexy suit.
28 Apr 2013: Ok, this thread also was promoted on the XDA portal. As you may know from the last time, be patient, if you write me a PM, it may take some time to reply. I guess, this time it is not so much interesting for users. Doing translation is not as famous as app testing. But I hope to get some new languages and reliable translators. So if you think you are the right one, send me a PM and let me know which language you can translate. Thank you.
17 Apr 2013: This thread was moved into the development forum. Also, translators, if someone asks for translations, please help, that's why we're here.

For retired translators look here.
Additional info- There was a big contribution of @Primokorn, he created github repository for xda translations. Read more here.
This is the example of an app to be translated in our repository.
Developers, you can make pull requests. Translators, you are free to translate.

I guess, this thread will start very slowly, but in a few weeks it should be very useful for developers and their app users.
I can translate to Russian and Icelandic from English and other way around.

Thanks for your support. You know... read number two below "Users".
If this thread is filled with a few more XDA members, I'll ask for sticking it on top of the forum. Hopefully we become important enough
BTW: I don't mind getting PMs instead of posts - but thread posts would keep this thread up in the forum... well. A smart midway would be the best
I can help with Brazilian Portuguese, but I always request to developers to add a option to choose language. I think it is good, IMO. If the strings are in a file that i can edit on phone, even better.

You're added. Please verify & subscribe. Editing strings and send them back would be fantastic .
Oh yeah, forgot to add. Add Latin alphabet to Serbian language please since Serbs use Latin and Cyrillic alphabets and I can't do good translation to Cyrillic.

Sorry for that, feeling like an error generator at the moment. Too much PMs and new posts... but changed. Thanks for your hint.
I am looking for people to help translate my "Complete Linux Installer" application to to other languages.
We have just rebuilt the app (now in its last BETA) and so the strings have been changed and thus all our old translations are no longer any good.
If you would be interested in helping me please check out this thread here: http://forum.linuxonandroid.org/index.php?topic=57.0 where you can find the strings file to translate, and old translation files that you could work from.
There is quite alot of text to translate so I understand completely if this is something you could not commit to at this time.
Thank you
PS great thread idea, this needs to be kept at the top
Can you please help me translating Call Filter Alarm to other languages? Link to google play
Please go to the following link to start translating:
http://piz18n.herokuapp.com
I developed my own translation platform (It's is still under development, so if you see this message "An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.", please wait a moment and retry .
Some instructions:
After signed and logged in, select the project Call Filter Alarm then the language you want to contribute.
On the left you can see all the expressions (scrollable).
Selecting an expression, in the right window you'll see: the expression to translate, context informations (if available), and the text field where you can put your translation.
The current state is
English: 100%
French: 69% (can somebody finish it?)
German: 100%
Italian: 100%
Polish: 100%
Portuguese (Brazil): 100%

Android Auto-Localization - Translate Strings.XML
This is a project to localize your Android app , by translating your string resources(e.g. `strings.xml`) automatically using Microsoft Azure Translate.
It requires Microsoft Azure Translation API key (instructions below).
Helps developers localize their Android app easily to 56 languages, with just one click.
Features
Translates to 56 languages
Cache translations so you dont end up using all your quota everytime
Handles some XML escaping
Usage
Download the Source Code from https://github.com/akhilkedia/Android-Auto-Localization_Translate-Strings.XML
Simply edit the constants in `src/main/Const.java`
Run the java code (using Eclipse/AndroidStudio/etc. in Windows/Linux.) - It will generate all possible translations for you
How to get FREE Microsoft Azure Translate Subscription Key
Sign up for a Microsoft Azure account. If you don’t already have an Azure account, sign up for a Microsoft Azure account at http://azure.com.
After you have an account, sign into the Azure portal at http://portal.azure.com.
Add a Microsoft Translator API subscription to your Azure account -> Choose a pay-as-you-go subscription (Will require a credit card, but don't worry, nothing will be charged) -> Select the + New option -> Select Intelligence from the list of services -> Select Cognitive Services APIs. Select the API Type option -> Select Text Translation. In the Pricing Tier section, select the Free Tier (F0) -> Fill out the rest of the form, and press the Create button.
Retrieve your authentication key -> Go to All Resources and select the Microsoft Translator API you subscribed to -> Go to the Keys option and copy your subscription key to access the service.
Limitations
Does not handle String Arrays so far
Does not handle CDATA
Keep your strings simple, and this will work just fine. For any issues, post here or on GitHub. Or even better, send a pull request.
