Introduction

Secrets for Android was initially available only in English because that is the language in which I am most fluent. All translations into languages other than English have been very graciously done by volunteers.

Translating Secrets into your Language

If you would like to see Secrets for Android available in your favourite language, why don't you help out? Its quite easy. Each language is structured as a simple text file, you can see some examples here:

English: http://code.google.com/p/secrets-for-android/source/browse/trunk/res/values/strings.xml
French: http://code.google.com/p/secrets-for-android/source/browse/trunk/res/values-fr/strings.xml
Italian: http://code.google.com/p/secrets-for-android/source/browse/trunk/res/values-it/strings.xml
Chinese: http://code.google.com/p/secrets-for-android/source/browse/trunk/res/values-zh-rCN/strings.xml
Chinese: http://code.google.com/p/secrets-for-android/source/browse/trunk/res/values-zh-rTW/strings.xml

To translate into a new language, download the English version and then modify it as needed. Each string that requires translation looks like this:

  <string name="XXX">YYYY</string>

Only change the YYYY part, leave the rest as is, with one exception: Inside the YYYY part, you may see strings of the form {0} or {1,date,short}. Please do not translate these parts.

Once the translation is complete, either send me an email with the translated strings.xml file, or open a new issue and attach the translation to it.

If you would like to receive credit for your translation, please let me know. Send me a short string with your name and a link to your website, preferably in the translated language. See the home page for example.
