Adding a translator

Post by n_star348 » Mon Feb 22, 2016 7:03 pm

I was wondering if it was posssible to add a translator which translates any text in my app. Is there a way to do that :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

Thanks :D :)

n_star348: Yes, there is a way to do that, probably, but it would involve you implementing it from scratch (i.e. developing the complete string extraction, translation, and substitution infrastructure, from nothing).

I know that we're very keen to provide this in a future release, but it's not even on our roadmap yet.

Way better to find a web service that already does that and just call it using APIs. Im sure if you google it, you will probably find dozens you can use in your app easily and save yourself a lot of development. Your users will never know the difference.
