Google has revealed plans to provide free machine-learning translations for Android applications, giving developers the ability to expand their reach without incurring significant additional expenses. This move will empower app creators to make their products available to a broader audience across the globe.
Initially, the service will support seven languages:
- Chinese (Simplified)
- French
- German
- Indonesian
- Japanese
- Portuguese
- Spanish
These languages will be translated by leveraging Google Translate's advanced transformer-based language models, ensuring accurate translations that cater to diverse user bases. This service is a valuable addition to the arsenal of tools available to developers, making it easier to adapt their offerings to different markets effectively and seamlessly.
To access the translation service, developers simply need to upload their app's string resources in their primary language through the Play Console. Once uploaded, the service will automatically translate the strings into the selected languages.
