You can use either Java or, preferably, Kotlin.
-
Make sure your code is logical and well formatted. If using Kotlin, see “Coding conventions” in the Kotlin documentation.

-
When using quotation marks, insert the symbols specific to the target language, as listed in this table.
-
Lawnchair uses title case for some English UI text. Title case isn’t used in other languages; opt for sentence case instead.
-
Some English terminology may have no commonly used equivalents in other languages. In such cases, use short descriptive phrases—for example, the equivalent of bottom row for dock.
