I'll use Google Translate.

It is not perferct, i know, but with a little trick...

After its tranlsation, i search that text on usual Google Search and how much page results; so i can choose the best translation.

It's a work, i know, but if you want for someone works for you... good 2015 :)

i can tell you that google translation is worthless, the problem is not that the translation is not so good and you can do something, the translation is wrong

and if you dont understand the language you will never find the right word
single words translation is better but if you try to translate sentense forget it

We have only two choices: we can avoid giving a translation in a particular language or give the user a translation ridiculous but sufficient

there is a third choice

i build in my app a option that the user can edit the language file, he can export the excel file edit it and import to the app and then all views will get the text he wrote from the updated file, like this i really can translate with google and the user can edit the file if he wants, but there are so kind members here that help each other and translate for a small amount a good translation

and i agree to invest some $ for my users that can have a good translation (i am talking about a FREE app and PAID app)

Given to users a ridiculous translation is unprofessional. Your solution, allow the user to adjust it, too, but it is to much better :)

I could translate into Italian. I've tried, to tell you the truth, but I find it difficult:

1) because if a word (English) has several meanings and I don't know your app I don't know which one to choose in Italian;
2) because I already don't find that "delsh", "candelsh" ?!?!?

I do not want money (well, maybe a few million)

(Also, the mouse is driving me crazy: soon I will pass it to the cat!)

ops, wrong column :)

"Delete selected"... In italian, that can be "Elimina selezionato" but also "Elimina selezionati"
selected can be used for one or more objects, in italian is not so!
If user select one object, you should write "Elimina (il file) selezionato". if 2 "Elimina (i file) selezionati" !

"Enter" can be more than one thing

thatswhy google translation is worthless

i really would like to have italien translation, to really nuderstand the meaning you should DOWNLOAD the app you will understand everything

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=www.sagitalcashliteeng.net&hl=en

because I already don't find that "delsh", "candelsh" ?!?!?

delsh is the name of the view not the text from the view, i only need to translate the column where "ENGLISH" is written

the 2 first columns are not for translation only the controls, as i said the app grabs the text and pass them to the right controll

"delete selected" its not important if you can translat something in 2 different ways, it only should be short
if the translation is a translation for a button like "delete selected" i preffer to translate only "delete" because if the two words in italian
is to long it wont fit in the button

delete selected or delete for me is the same (after selecting some shifts from the list he gives you the option to delete the selcted items) so delete is good enough
