The way I've done my text, which I believe is the correct way but I
could be wrong, is that I've created an XML file - essentially it's like
a html file and I've got everything in there as in the below text, so
essentially the translation just needs to be the words in between the
tags, so for the option " <string name="Soundeffects">Use sound
effects</string>" it would be whatever the translation of "Use sound
effects" is, not the rest of that string. One thing I'm not sure of is
that some of the strings are just one or two words so I'm not sure how
much context would be needed for some of them, but I guess if getting it
translated the person doing it could then come back and ask for
clarification on specific items.
Here's a sample from my strings.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="app_name">RapiTap!</string>
<string name="EMail">"[email protected]"</string>
<string name="MoreLink">More from Developer</string>
<string name="URL"><a
href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=22+Point";>More
from 22 Point</a></string>
<string name="action_settings">Settings</string>
<string name="ShowOptionsIntro">Show options next time</string>
<string name="detailedInfo">Show detailed game information</string>
<string name="Soundeffects">Use sound effects</string>
<string name="UseTTS">Use Text to Speech</string>
<string name="VerboseTTS">Verbose TTS Announcements</string>
<string-array name="difficultyList">
<item>Easy</item>
<item>Normal</item>
<item>Hard</item>
</string-array>
</resources>

I won't say thet Russian is more popular than English (is there any
more popular language than English at all, except for perhaps
Chinese?), especially when piracy is more wide-spread here, but I
probably could translate although never had experience translating
xml's. We really can build a mutually benefitial relationship here.

The trick is probably the getting paid part. I would love to have my
app translated into as many languages as possible and if you are
interested in translating my app I can send you the strings.xml file
right now! But having sold less than 100 copies at $2.99 AUD (minus
Google's cut), of an app which took several months development
time, I'd
need to translate it into a language a lot more popular than it's
current English in order to recoup the costs of development, let
alone
to pay someone else.
Out of curiousity, how much would translation cost?
Kind regards
Quentin.
