Back at Google I/O in May, the corporate showed off a brand new app translation service for Android developers. Briefly, it could allow developers to rent professional translators through Google who would then translate their app into however many languages they needed. Now the service is finally able to go live.
Google announced today that developers large and small are invited to apply the company’s new app translation service. The corporate says that launching an app in multiple languages will don’t forget to see more success as your app could be more readily accessible in parts of the area that don’t speak your native language.
While the app translation service could have gone live today, many developers have already been using it as portion of a pilot program. Google says people who participated within the program saw incredible results from localizing their apps, with one developer finding that 80 percent of installs came from non-English speaking users. If testimonials are your thing, you will see more here.
So, how do you are taking benefit of this new service? Developers can enroll to have their app translated throughout the Google Play Developer Console. From there, you should include the project name, the source language and which languages you need your app localized for. If you’re uncertain, Google may even will give you some metrics that will help you find which languages similar apps have found success in.
As is the case with most localization projects, costs are varied and dependent upon the quantity of labor required to localize your app. Despite that fact, Google says that a small app will probably cost about $75 per language while a massive app will run you $150 per language. Just keep in mind that those usually are not concrete prices and it’ll fluctuate counting on the quantity of text that requires translating.
