Well, I don't really know, so I'm open for advice on this one.[1] So, it seems I basically have two choices: 1) go with the above machine translations (except for Russian, where I already have an offer---thanks again, Kostya). 2) just leave it English as, apparently, my previous apps have all been (I wish I knew where I read that strings.xml was automatically translated---I read that and have thought that was true all this time). At least I've kept all strings IN strings.xml as a result (except for text files in assets). Any suggestions as to which I should go with? And...given that the method I'd read about won't work (since two letters isn't always enough), any suggestions on knowing what prefix matches what? I'm clueless here.... Thanks, --jim [1] As I've already mentioned, thanks to cancer #1 I am existing (can't really call it living) on Social Security Disability, and don't have an extra dime to pay for professional translators---again, I'm *HOPING*[2] that this app might help me get beyond the need for SSD, but consider that cautious optimism....But then, just being able to pay off part of several thousand dollars worth of medical bills would be nice.....
