Translating the app can be done on Crowdin: https://crowdin.com/project/another-notes-app Most strings are accompanied with a screenshot to give the context.
Note that some strings are to be used in constrained space situations, and in this case it's entirely fine to slightly change the meaning.
There are a few additionnal steps to consider, but they are not mandatory:
-
The app also relies on a library, recurpickerlib (which I maintain), so you might want to make sure it's also available in the new language. The translation process is not available through Crowdin for now.
-
Optionally, the app listing can be translated. This is also not on Crowdin. Create a folder in
app/src/main/play/listingswith the locale code. The locale code must be one supported by Google Play. The folder must contain the following:graphics/phone-screenshotssubfolders, will eventually contain screenshots.title.txt: app title (max 50 chars).short-description.txt: short app description (max 80 chars).full-description.txt: full app description (max 4000 chars).- See the
en-USfolder for reference content.
Screenshots are generated automatically. However some notes are shown in each screenshot and these should ideally be translated to match the listing language. It can be done by translating the
strings.xmllocated in theandroidTestsource set, exactly like the main set of strings was translated. There are some instructions to follow in the XML file.
All modifications should be made on the dev branch and be sent as a pull request.
