Android Question Translating an app

[barx]

Hey all,

I've had an interesting email whilst on vacation. The sender as asked if I am interested in translating one of my apps into another language. This is something I have never dealt with.

The app currently draws the text bodies from a database.

Is there a standard / best practice for multi lingual apps?

Thanks.

Did you see this library? It think it should be the one you are searching for.

There's another thread here that might be useful: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/localize-your-app-using-androidresources.19165/.
Read the entire thread through - towards the end i posted a new library that wraps the android Resources class and a code module that uses Resources to recursively set the displayed text of all Views based on the device locale.

And there's yet another thread here: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/layoutview-automatic-translation-of-layout-views.43090/ that might be useful.
