Google app translation service now available to Android developers

November 12, 2013

Google has made its app translation service available to all Android developers to enable them to offer their apps in different languages.The service, first previewed in May at Google I/O, allows developers to purchase professional app translations through the Google Play Developer Console from third-party service providers at prices ranging on an average from US$75 for a small app to $150 for a large app per language.Google ran a pilot service of the program before making it generally available. It is part of a toolbox offered by Google to developers so that they can distribute their apps around the world through its Google Play store.The Internet giant claims that every day more than 1.5 million new Android phones and tablets around the world are turned on for the first time. "Each newly activated Android device is an opportunity for you as a developer to gain a new user, but frequently, that user speaks a different language from you," it said in a blog post Monday on its Android Developers Blog.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
