Hi, I'm relying on volunteers to translate my app (Thinking Space) via email.
Managing the translations this way is difficult and slow, many people offer to translate, however get scared off once they get the XML files. I would like to use something like launchpad (https://launchpad.net/ ) to provide an online portal for people to submit their translations to. This would be ideal! However, since my app isn't open source, I would need a $$$ commercial launchpad license to do this with :-/ Another option that could work is to set up a Pootle server (http:// translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/index) If your question on 'Impact on downloads' refers to the number of downloads increasing, then no.. If it refers to the overall size of the download, I've just done a very quick test, APK size with just english: 398KB, APK size with english + 5 translations: 474KB. (For reference, the size of my english/default 'values' folder is 45KB) Hope this helps!
