Thought it was worth a mention - "getlocalization" is a pretty good crowd-sourced translation service that I've used for one of my android apps. What you can do is just include a link to your translation project in your app so users of your app can provide translations for their language. It has native support for android so you can just download the strings.xml for the selected language and drop it into the appropriate values directory.
The only thing it's missing IMO is some sort of integration with google translate for automatic translations - otherwise it's a pain to be constantly switching browser tabs...
Hello developers, there is a new way of localizing your android app and it's free. Just build Nativer SDK into your app and it is ready to be translated by any android user - with the help of Nativer app on their phone. Translators’ work is supported by pre translated strings via Bing.
Nativer SDK is now in beta phase, beta tester developers will be awarded by translations made by paid translators – so you don’t have to wait for users to translate your app.
The SDK is available on Github
To make integration easier we prepared a plugin for Android studio 1.0 / IntelliJ users. It's also on Github.
Translate an app with another app: Nativer new version is available
Nativer mobile app is designed exactly for localizing Android apps. It’s a full translation environment running as an Android app. If an (other) Android app is equipped with Nativer SDK built in, any user can translate the app.
Translators can immediately check the translation as they can switch between the translation screen of Nativer app and the target app.On screenshots 1 and 4 you can see an app before and after translation, on screenshot 2 and 3 thge translation with Nativer app.
For developers: if your Android app internationalization was done the Android way, you can make your app translatable easily, you only have to build the Nativer SDK into your app. Through the SDK, Nativer app provides an interface for translators to edit the language resource strings.
• in context translation
• supports any language as long as Android supports character set
For users: with Nativer app you can request translations for apps installed on your phone.

You can get the app on GooglePlay, its name is Nativer demo. If you would you like to translate your own app you should build Nativer SDK in it before translation.

Sorry I'm a new guy here, cannot put links in comments. SDK is available on http://developer.nativer.com. SDK is in beta, you might have difficulties (of course not intentionally), in this case pls give feedback.
Nativer app was not published only for several countries, sorry for it, now I published it for all countries, you should find it within 1-2 hours.
Rgrds
I'm confused how to use these services. I don't know what is sdk & how to build it. Even registered on developer.nativer.com. I think its not easy steps to translate app

mrjoy, we have modified the website to make it easier but there are limitations in the website template we use, so if you think we can communicate directly to help you go through.
You may want to modify only 1-2 words in your app just to make experiments how to improve User Experience while curiously watching how your figures change in Google Analytics. Unfortunately localization process is not shorter just because only 1-2 words changing although it can be important - you never know how these changes affect your statistics in different languages.
With Nativer you can do these experiments in many languages at once. You don’t have to send the new phrases to translators and wait until each translation is ready just to assemble the resource files and create the new package.
You only have to modify in one language only then put the package on Google Play either in live or in beta. Right after your translators or your community of app users can access the translatables and can translate directly in using the app. They can check the result at once directly in the app. In addition translation work is supported by machine pre-translation. Completed/reviewed translations can be available for your users at once – without any activity needed on your side.
No more confusion with different versions of different language resources - See the app demo here.
You upload your app to Google Play and the rest is done by GP: visibility and distribution to users in all the countries you want, collection of user feedback, statistics. You only have to watch the figures and focus on development.
With Nativer you build our SDK into your app, and everything else regarding localization is done by Nativer: translation and distribution of localized resources in all the languages you want, immediate user feedback, statistics. You only have to watch the figures and focus on development. The only difference that Nativer is free for app developers.
With Nativer SDk built in your app together with our localization backend your users can get your app in their own languages.
If you are a developer
We also prepared a plugin for Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA to provide automated integration of Nativer SDK. It is available on Github and in IntelliJ plugin repository.
In case you use Android Studio or IntellJ, you can make your app translated to 70+ languages and be ready for further translation by your users within a few minutes. Try it – you only risk only 5-10 minutes of your time to discover an exciting and suprisingly effective new technology.

Hi everyone,
When you click on the weather card in the Google now feed (swipe left from standard Homescreen), do you get the redesigned (since 2016) colourful weather app or the old style?
I get the latter and it's bugging me. Some old posts in a Google product forums indicate it has something to do with webview which is now integrated in chrome, but I haven't found way to activate the new design, yet.
Cheers,
Armchair
I want also the new weather, is there a way to get it `?=

It seems to have something to do with the language setting. When I set the system language to English it works. Also, with the original language it works when triggering the weather app from the "at a glance widget".
I really thank you, I search everywhere for a solution to this damn issue, I have two Huawei phone with EMUI 8 and with the same issue. I also had a chat with Huawei support (I'll avoid to mention what they told me, for Huawei support sake), then simply switching the language to english, antering the app, then switching back to my language, everything was fixed.
Actually now I also noticed also that I have a different view than used to have. Is the frog weather the new design? I used to have the frog and now its gone.
