翻译工具

Question

我想知道是否可以在我的应用程序上使用可以将应用程序翻译成其他语言的功能，以便用户可以选择一系列语言，以便即使他不会说英语也可以阅读该应用程序，非常感谢

Answer 1

If you use the framework's localization facilities, this will happen automatically based on the user's language setting on their device

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/localization.html

Basically, instead of using string literals in your code (ie. txt.setText("Something") or android:text="Something" ), you create these in your strings.xml file and use the automatically created reference id's.

res/values/strings.xml:

<string name="something">Something</string>

Then, you create alternate res/values folders for the other languages you support and create a similar strings.xml file there.

res/values-es/strings.xml

<string name="something">Algo</string>

Then your layouts and codes would have txt.setText(R.string.something) or android:text="@string/something" .

You can do the same thing for drawable, layout, menu, etc.

"to use a feature on my app that can translate the app to other languages"

I do not think such feature exist from Google. But if you write the app according Google's localization guide then you can use our Nativer app, which is designed exactly for that. It takes you language resources - translates with a machine and then let's the crowd to correct it. All these happens in runtime - so you do not need to bother when the language translation finished by the crowd. You can find further info here transround.com
