Calling all Multilingual studiers!

Hello, Bonjour, Gutentag, Nî hâo, Hola, Privet, G’Day, Konnichi wa

Studydroid is going international! That’s right, soon you will be able to study in your own native language.

I have spent the last few days painstakingly going String by String and putting them in the String.xml file so that all of the printable text can be translated into other languages.

The Problem: I speak English. That’s about it. (Blame the U.S. education system) I will be taking a crack at German and French since I have a little experience in those, but I will need help in every single language.

The Solution: YOU! If you speak another language, even if you’ve never translated anything before, you can help!

Here’s how it would work. I send you the Strings.xml file (I’ll have a backup here in English for reference) and you just swap out the words for their meaning in another language.

What do you get out of it? A nice big hug and recognition on the site and in the app itself.

If you’re interested in helping out either contact me here on the forums or by email at dryawgmoth@gmail.com.

Note: The packs are already international since the site is written in UTF-8. This update is just to translate menus, errors, and status menus.
