Help translating FOSS applications.
This application was born to help the FOSS community translate their Android applications in an easy way. Perhaps your family doesn't know enough English and you might want to translate a FOSS application for them, then this is application is the right way to go.
Its purpose is fetching a GitHub repository containing the source code
for an Android application, and once the strings.xml
files in it are
downloaded, you'll be able to translate it whenever you want.
Some applications have a large amount of strings
waiting to be translated.
This is the reason why it's not a desktop application, so it could be done
anywhere (no internet connection is required once the strings
are saved).
Once you're done, create a Gist, export the file to the SD card or simply
copy its contents to the clipboard.
Of course, once you have the final strings.xml
, drop the author an issue and
let them know you've translated their application. They'll be really happy!
Still have questions on how to use the application? You can check out the online help by going to the help index.
- Internet. Required to be able to fetch a remote GitHub repository in order to download its contents. Also used to post a GitHub Gist and to load the Discover activity.
- Access network state. Required to warn the user that they're not connected to the internet (and to prevent the application from crashing).
This application has not yet been tested on pre-Lollipop devices and it might fail on some operations, such as exporting a file to the SD card. If this is the case, please let me know, or create a new pull request with a fix.
