Translate Your Android App¶

Ship your Android app in multiple languages with clean, build-safe strings.xml output.

Why Android Localization Is Harder Than It Should Be¶

Android's resource system is flexible, but localization brings real friction:

• XML escaping rules that vary depending on context and placeholders
• Plural forms that differ across languages and require careful <item> handling
• Build errors that surface late, often after the XML looked correct
• Resources scattered across multiple values-xx folders
• Edge cases around %s, %1$s, CDATA, and HTML formatting

Most of this is tedious, not difficult. GetTranslated.AI handles the tedious parts so you can focus on the parts that matter.

What Android Devs Actually Need¶

Not enterprise dashboards or workflow governance. Just the basics:

• clean strings.xml output
• correct plural handling
• proper escaping
• developer comments preserved
• no broken builds
• consistency across values-xx folders
• fewer surprises during release week

The Android Localization Flow¶

1. Export your strings.xml¶

From your project, modules, features — wherever your resource files live.

We handle:

• single-module apps
• multi-module projects
• multiple values folders
• nested resources
• any project structure

2. Upload to GetTranslated.AI¶

We parse your XML and extract:

• keys
• comments
• formatting tags
• placeholders (%s, %d, %1$s)
• escaped quotes
• multi-line strings

3. Get instant translations¶

Review only the important strings — the ones users see frequently or that require nuance.

Everything else is handled automatically and consistently.

4. Export back to native Android XML¶

You get clean, build-safe XML for each language:

• correctly escaped characters
• preserved whitespace
• intact placeholders
• no illegal characters
• no unexpected changes

5. Drop into values-xx and ship it¶

Your build compiles, your tests pass, your users see the right language.

Full Support for Android strings.xml¶

We handle:

• Basic strings
• Parameterized strings
• HTML-formatted strings
• CDATA
• Special escaped characters
• Comments (preserved in output)
• Multi-line content
• All standard Android resource XML constructs

Your translated files stay clean, readable, and diff-friendly.

Full Support for Android Plurals¶

Android plurals are powerful but easy to get wrong across languages.

<plurals name=”items_count”>
    <item quantity=”one”>%d item</item>
    <item quantity=”other”>%d items</item>
</plurals>

GetTranslated.AI:

• keeps your plural rules intact
• translates only the text
• preserves %d, %s, %1$s
• respects languages with additional plural forms (like Russian or Arabic)
• ensures correct XML for every target language

No more plural crashes in specific locales. No more builds breaking because of an extra space or a missing escape.

Built-in Consistency¶

Android apps grow over time. So do your translations. GetTranslated.AI keeps them consistent with:

Translation Memory¶

Translate something once and it stays consistent across every future update.

Protected Terms¶

Lock brand names, product names, and keywords so they never get translated or altered.

AI Tone Tune¶

Match your app's voice across every language.

Version History¶

See diffs between releases. Catch unintended copy changes before they ship.

Made for Android Developers, Not Localization Teams¶

Enterprise localization tools assume you have translators, reviewers, roles, permissions, approval stages, and governance workflows.

Most Android teams have a repo, CI, a release schedule, and strings that need translating before the next release.

GetTranslated.AI fits into your existing workflow:

• no complex setup
• no onboarding process
• no per-seat pricing
• no workflow ownership discussions

It works like a dev tool, not an enterprise platform.

Works With Your Existing Toolchain¶

Drop exported language folders into:

• Android Studio
• Gradle build scripts
• multi-module repos
• CI/CD pipelines
• feature-module projects
• custom resource pipelines

Compatible with:

• GitHub Actions
• GitLab CI
• Bitrise
• CircleCI
• any script-based build pipeline

Test New Markets Quickly¶

Want to ship a Spanish version to beta testers? Try a German onboarding flow? Test Japanese app retention? Localize your app-store listing?

Translations take seconds, not days. You can experiment with new markets even on a small team.

Predictable Pricing¶

Android projects can grow fast. Your localization costs should stay predictable.

GetTranslated.AI gives you:

• flat monthly pricing
• no per-word fees
• no per-language fees
• no per-seat fees
• no usage-based surprises

If your app grows, your bill stays the same.

Built For¶

• Android developers
• mobile teams at small companies
• startups with weekly releases
• indie developers
• contractors and freelancers
• app teams without localization specialists
• anyone who values simplicity and speed

If you have been putting off localization, this makes it a five-minute task.

Why Teams Choose GetTranslated for Android Localization¶

Teams typically pick GetTranslated.AI when they need to:

• keep strings.xml and plurals build-safe across languages
• avoid placeholder and escaping regressions before release
• reduce duplicate translation work with Translation Memory
• move faster with predictable, developer-friendly workflows

It is a practical fit for Android teams that want reliable localization without adding enterprise process.
