I am searching for markets that are too small for the big developers by big 
enough for me, myself and I.  I was thinking too complex.  Parrot Teacher is a 
keep it simple stupid app.  It has cute birds.  It needs a video with a happy 
young woman and pretty bird learning to talk.  I have just now began to think 
about all of the speaking birds in China, Japan, the Middle East, and South 
America.


I am going to redo my Parrot Teacher app. into the translatable format and keep 
the price low.  It will be fun to see what happens.  I would like to view the 
thing in Chinese and to see how it appears.  Perhaps I was a bit too stuck in 
the English speaking universe.    Google took it upon there self or maybe it 
was just a computer at Google and alerted me to this possibility.  It amazing 
what technology can do.  Trump would be proud of me.

Subject: Fwd: Amazon Appstore – Parrot Teacher is Approved for Jed


I learned something Jed would like.  When I was doing my apps I put text into 
quotations something like this:


print "Hi Jed"


The app then displays Hi Jed.




There is another way to do this by putting all of the text in the string file 
like


print @string greeting


In the string file is :  string greeting = "Hi Jed"


It seemed like an unnecessary step to me and I did not do it.  My apps worked 
just fine without it.


Now I find out that amazon and google convert everything in the string file 
into various languages.


Like


print "Kneechewah Jed"


That's amazing, all of the apps text is automatically converted into all spoken 
tongs.   I will have to put my text and help screens into the string file 
format and resubmit them.  My apps will then reach the global market in their 
natural language.  This will be a bit more work but it will be worth it.  I am 
always learning something new.
