Aim
Localization is an important part of today's apps. I felt it while developing my app. A lot of users requested the app to be translated into their language and I was well surprised to see so many willing to help me with the translation. I would never have done it without them. Therefore I propose the following:
Let's create a list of translation volunteers and the language they are willing to help translate into and make it public so any app developer can contact them regarding translation into a specific language.
I also propose developing a standardised way of communication and translation process that we can put up together.
For instance lets all agree on a versioning solution (e.g. Github) that both developers and translation volunteers can use to maintain translation xml files. This way, developer can always update the file on the versioning platform and then translation volunteer can see what has changed and translate the new content.
NOTE - If you reply and volunteer yourself pelase specify what language(s) are you able to help with by selecting it/them from the list below

Perhaps building a table or database of available translators for each language would be a good start. Also, a list of the actually known and supported languages from Android itself would help in building such list. In the listwe, should include name, email, actual country, and available language/dialects from this translator.
For myself, I could help in translating for French. I am Canadian, and so I usually translate for the "fr_CA" language code, but this does not stop me from translating for general French. Of course, we have our own local words for terms such as email, spam, etc..... but those are usually well understood by other "dialects" of French.
I'm Dutch. So if I were contacted for translations I could do NL_nl.
Hi, I can translate to Arabic. I previously translated an app "Tic Tac Toe" to arabic, and everything went perfectly.
PLZ, add my name to the list of translators. "Arabic"
I can do Ru_ru. Add me to the list and pm if you are interested.
English NZ won't be very different to English UK but I can do it if necessary.
If you want, I can do english translations. I have very good english language, I know english more than I know arabic. If you want I can translate english_US !!
I can offer my help with all the spanish translations and catalonian ones .
es_ES & es_US & ca_ES

PD: Oops, at first I wrote "I can't" x)
I've translated Solid Explorer to Turkish before and I can volunteerly translate any application to Turkish.
I can help translating in italian (both it_IT and it_CH, they are the same)
Tiwiz

How to backup ROM -
or else, download from here
Those languages that you have are those on manila or keyboard languages? You can always check the registry settings in your current rom for the language settings and then reapply these to the new rom. Check the following path in the registry -HKCU\MUI\CurLang and note all values there.
I have never changed the language on my roms as I'm English (so no need for me), but I've seen reference to how to do this on xda.
You can always change the language on manila after flashing. Read this for the steps.

I can translate it to german and portuguese (portugal) also if you want
I was disappointed to find that the one language I needed (Greek) was not available in translate. Is there a way I can add this.
Mine has Greek to English & English to Greek. Or did you need Greek to other languages?
I tried to do as you said but it can be translated from English to Greek only, not vice versa.
If like to know this as well. I speak English. If like to get translate languages for Hebrew, Arabic, and Farsi.
