    How to Translate

    +
    + +

    + While translating your store listing and universal app campaign ads (if you have any) can make + your app more discoverable, providing a translated user interface and in-app purchase products + can maximize user engagement and retention. Depending on your budget, there are several + options available: +

    + +
      +
    • + Use the Google Play App Translation Service: For your convenience, Google Play + provides an App Translation Service + that is integrated directly into the + Developer Console and Android + Studio. Using this professional, human service, you can order translations for your app, + store listing text, in-app purchase products, and universal app campaign ads all in one go. + You’ll get instant estimates from multiple vendors, all with the convenience of ordering and + paying online. +
      • + +
    • + Do it yourself: If you or your colleagues know the target languages, you can + translate everything yourself using any text editor, or you can use the + Android Studio Translation + Editor. +
      • + +
    • + Use a third-party translation service: You can use a translation service + that is offered by one of the many translation companies available online. +
