Is it possible to pull Google translate's info off the web and CREATE an offline language pack? I'm an English teacher in Southeast Asia, so I need a translation app regularly. I already have downloaded the Japanese and Korean offline language packs, but I also want to create (since Google just WON'T make them) the Khmer and Filipino languages.
Is this at all possible? Thanks a lot guys (and gals!) for any help you can offer. I really use this website and the apps put on here often, and have the greatest respect for the people who take the time to do this

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...

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.

For XDA Market?
So this is a general question. I have to do a 15 page group project for my summer college course and I'm stuck trying to find the answer online. For my class, we are pretending to be a US mobile telecom looking to expand into India. I'm doing the business side of the proposal and want to discuss phone languages.
However I know very little about India in general. I know there are something like 16 languages used in the country, but are all 16 available on all phones? If not what are the most common languages? Is it pretty standard?
Pardon my ignorance, I'm short on time and all my searches on google are inconclusive (can't figure out how to word my search to find the answer)
Thank you!
Not one Indian language is naively supported by Android. The [Android] phones come with English as the default language. Several languages in India uses the same writing script, so all one needs is support for the script and the phone can be deployed in whatever regional language is required.

You can cover a lot of people with Hindi and Urdu, but Google is too f*cking stupid to see this.
EDIT: A tip for your project is to NOT force English upon the local populace. It pisses people off.
Hi everybody, I'm a developer and I'm having problems translating my app, I speak only italian and a bad english, but good enough to translate my app in a comprensible english...
I think lot of you have the same problem so, this is an " international " forum, so why can't we help together translating our apps ?
we could create a section near "Android Apps and Games" like Translations, create a thread for each app needs a translation and use http://www.getlocalization.com/ , it should be free using public workspaces, it works very well, reads the xml you upload, let users translate and then you can donwload the translated version of the xml, ready to put in the values_it folder of eclipse
what do you think ?
for example, this is the repository of my app http://www.getlocalization.com/sam/
using this open translation we could avoid things like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867245 ( people that want and can help you in a few minutes and don't know how to do) and have our app worldiwde distributed
I would like to help but my english is good but not good enough

nobody is interested in helping together translating our apps in languages different than English?
My app "Buddhist Astrology Free" is available and displayed in English. It has a library for Spanish, Russian and the two scripts of Chinese. The app will automatically send the monthly forecast in the language the phone uses (for the above languages). So that is not the problem. What I am curious about is do I post the app in Google Store 4 times, once for each language so those who don't understand English can see the app exists. How does one "advertise" the app's name in Google Store showing it supports various languages?
Thanks if anyone knows how to answer this.
Hello, That's possibly the wrong place to ask, but anyway..
French is my primary language, and i often see bad translations on the PlayStore. So i was wondering if i could help - In any way - some developers here, or such.
It would be a pleasure to translate texts for you if necessary, just tell me where and how to start.
