Any collaborative tool/website to localize an Android app? [closed]

Solution 1:

One tool was not yet listed so far - Weblate. It has native support for Android string resources and is already used for several apps (for example OsmAnd). Though it requires you to use distributed version control system (preferably Git).

Solution 2:

I opted for Crowdin. It allows the admin to upload the XML files, and then anyone can translate to any language.

Translated files can be downloaded in a ZIP archive.

It is free for Open Source projects.

The UI used to be really slow, but it has got better recently.

Solution 3:

I've written a tool to convert between Android XML resources and .po files:

I'm using this myself with Pootle, and it works well enough, though I'm not really all that happy with the Pootle UI. Crowdin is in fact much better in that regard.
