<p>
|
||
While translating your store listing and universal app campaign ads (if you have any) can make
|
||
your app more discoverable, providing a translated user interface and in-app purchase products
|
||
can maximize user engagement and retention. Depending on your budget, there are several
|
||
options available:
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Use the Google Play App Translation Service</strong>: For your convenience, Google Play
|
||
provides an <a href="https://support.google.com/l10n/answer/6359997">App Translation Service</a>
|
||
that is integrated directly into the <a href="https://support.google.com/l10n/answer/6341304">
|
||
Developer Console</a> and <a href="https://support.google.com/l10n/answer/6341928">Android
|
||
Studio</a>. Using this professional, human service, you can order translations for your app,
|
||
store listing text, in-app purchase products, and universal app campaign ads all in one go.
|
||
You’ll get instant estimates from multiple vendors, all with the convenience of ordering and
|
||
paying online.
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Do it yourself</strong>: If you or your colleagues know the target languages, you can
|
||
translate everything yourself using any text editor, or you can use the
|
||
<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/androidstudio087released">Android Studio Translation
|
||
Editor</a>.
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Use a third-party translation service</strong>: You can use a translation service
|
||
that is offered by one of the many translation companies available online.
