I'm not the big coder for PDA/Smartphone, so I was wondering how I else could contribute to this great site.
I found out that we do not have any people dedicated to translate our software into other languages and thereby secure that XDA will reach the great masses.
I therefore search for people that want to help translating to their own language, not just one person pr language as the more the better.
And I also want to hear from developers about what kind of syntax they use for their language files, maybe we should make a common template to how these are made. This is because I am about to make a program that can display these files in a way so they are very easy to edit and review.
Future features i am thinking of implementing is:
OpenOffice Dictionary support
Google Translate support
The idea is that developers submit their file to my site and it is then imported into an online database that the program extract from.
When people have edited a file it is then submitted but not completed until someone else have reviewed it, simply to wipe out any simple grammar or spelling mistakes.
Feedback please...

I think it unnecessary.
Now,many online translation in internet,we don't need language translate service for xda-developers......
I'm a Chinese.Between Chinese and Latin,I think it have much different....
We can use online translation to browse the xda.
But I really hope xda support more language.
For example,Chinese in xda-developers is messy code.
I don't know what time can be solved......

I think you misunderstood it, it is for the applications that are made by this great forum and not the forum itself.
This way f.ex. the maker SleepSense could just send his english language file and then the community would translate it to each of their own language, and thereby helping that XDA Market apps will have an edge over other, by supporting a lot of languages which others dont.

Hi everyone!
Sorry if I ask this in the wrong part of the forum, but I want to help the Android-community to translate from English to Swedish and perhaps vice versa, and I wonder, is there somewhere there I can sign up so developers know that I can help with the translation into Swedish?
Cause I have helped someones with the translations, but then i have to write mails and ask, and I want developers to be aware of this so I don't need to ask around in mails since I see it as fun to help out with translating during my free time
Thanks in advance, best regards, RazaBlada
Note: I'm not that good with the English grammar so that's why I want to help out with translating into Swedish but not from Swedish to English, and if you are a developer and want me to help you translate your app into Swedish as well, then just send an mail to my E-mail pontusevnert [at] gmail.com with the document that you want me to translate.
Hey guys.
I'm quite a new user of this forum even though I've read a couple of threads before. Let me have a question then.
I've seen a bunch of apps on google play with titles and descriptions translated with Google translate thingy - I guess you can imagine how horrible it looks So, since I'm Polish, I thought I'd offer some help with translating English stuff to Polish for free (however I wouldn't mind any credits ). Just send me a pm or write here and we'll work things out.
Thanks in advance,
Trzepaczka.
PS
I didn't know where to make this thread so I just posted it here, please move it to the right section if needed.
Cheers
Hello!
My name is Willy Fuentes, I'm Spanish and although I am not an app developer I think I can contribute much to this developers community.
I am a translator, I worked in my country translating articles, documents etc and now help developers to translate their apps to Spanish so they can reach as many users as possible.:highfive:
I like my translations to be as perfect as possible, because Spanish is a difficult language and if you're not perfectionist translations just "sound weird".
if you're looking for someone to help you translate your apps into Spanish, for a good price I'm your man!
Please Any questions you have, just ask I'll be glad to answer you !

Hello
I have looked in all the forums speaking Arabic, I could not find anybody knows anything about this device never
They could not help me, they did not know many of this device
But I have hope of finding a solution to my problem in this forum wonderful
I want help in how to add Arabic to external keyboard for this device
I want to write in Arabic using the external keyboard to the device and not touch
It has been 3 weeks on the weary search in all the forums, but without the benefit due to lack of experts for this device
Help me please,
I apologize about the markedly bad language and expression
Not sure why you're calling me out specifically... I've told you repeatedly this is an English speaking forum - and I speak English. I don't speak Arabic. I use the keyboard to write, surprise! In English.
So if you want help with Arabic, you are going to have to ask in another forum or wait for someone else to answer you (which I mentioned in another thread that is unlikely for the reasons above).
Good luck.

Saying that people around here don't know about the device is absurd. We don't lack experts here, but since XDA is an English-only forum, almost nobody uses and cares about Arabian and therefore failed to help you in that particular way.
Feel free to let out your anger and turn to elsewhere for help.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
Since JellyBean, it's easy to add custom keyboard layouts, they can be made available to system via a simple application.
For CM11 (which should support Arabic and other RTL languages quite well), I include AsantiKeypad application for that purpose - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_moto_msm8960/tree/cm-11.0/AsantiKeypad
But to create an Arabic layout for the Photon Q keypad, it needs someone who's able to understand the glyphs and who's able to create the appropriate map.
If you know an already existing Arabic keyboard layout map made for Droid4, it could be easily incorporated in AsantiKeypad app.
Or try to make it from scratch, I'll merge it if I'll find the time for it and you'll keep bothering me about it long enough .

I know that this forum speaks English - and you speak English.
But you're the only one who mastered dealing with this device,
I've asked several forums in Arabic but not without interest did not find any response
Do you kindly help me?

We have created this forum for the exchange of information and help others regardless of tone or intellectual differences
We are all human beings and there is no need for racist ..
I hope some of their responses to be stimulatory or an encouraging
not disappointing
I have the highest thread I did not find a solution in other forums
This is what forced me to put my problem here, because of the lack of experts for this device
I wish I could show some sportsmanship and high morals my friend
This is the forum to help others regardless of cultures
If were not able to solve the problems of others, there is nothing wrong, but I hope not to interfere

Thank you kabaldan
I have excelled in reply and facilitated more and gave me new hope towards the development of this device
But is there any additives
For example, some instructions and tips about this application
I want simplified explanation

What are you taking other devs for (especially those behind the scenes doing ground work for CM11 and other custom ROMs, like @kabaldan )?

True, although this forum is created with only English in mind, you often see people from other non-English countries or people that don't use English around here. I'm a Chinese myself so I partially understand why you're here for help - because we lack help in our home countries' forums.
However, as we're aware that both this forum and Android aren't made for all languages and cultures, even when we ask or answer questions in other languages, the question will be related to the phone itself, like how you fix reboots, how you flash a ROM, etc. These discussions have no language boundaries and can be understood by all.
As of your problem, it naturally involves another language which most people around here don't understand, and you see, forcing devs to learn a language and do the job only to fulfill a single request isn't realistic.
Talking about @kabaldan 's solution, he said that AsantiKeypad can import keyboard layouts, but he also said that there should be an Arabic layout available for importing first, which I Googled for you and sadly found nothing relevant. So, just like what he said, if there's none existing, then you have to find a dev who understands Arabic to write one up for you. Good luck with that.
