I am not sure that even a fluent speaker could translate "Live Wallpaper" correctly.
And everybody who makes "Live Wallpapers" has the same problem, for every language they translate into. Its not just a matter of finding a (say) native Russian speaker; you need a native Russian speaker who knows the terms used by Google in Russian android phones. As everybody has the same problem I thought somebody may have assembled such a list. What have you done about the problem? How did you solve it with your apps?
