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 .

Polish translation? I could help the best i can Greetz
Hello.
I would appreciate it if I could get some help with translating my app Crius as many people are asking for it.
It requires 2 files to be translated.
1. First File.
2. Second File.
Some of the strings are same but there are minute changes, so it would not be proper to copy from 1 file to another. Kindly translate them separately.
You can upload them on any site or as an attachment or send it to me via PM. Please name the files as they are (strings1.xml and strings2.xml) as they would help me to identify them properly. Also mention the language code to which you are translating it to.
It will be really helpful to me and you'll get all the credits you deserve for it.
I started the translation of strings1.xml for brazilian portuguese (pt-BR), for now it is partially translated. If anyone want to continue, feel free!
The partial translation is here: download.
Still valid?
Maybe it would be good if you could update the current progress resp. what still needs tackling...
Is german already done?
Bulgarian translation
Hi, I translated both files in Bulgarian language and now I am sending you an archive with them. If you thick that there is still more to translate or something to be modified, just inform me!
Hi! I've translated into Russian.
Later, I can try with the Italian translation, I'll let you know!

Hey everyone,
I'm so happy to find out about this thread and I wish I did before. I have already had my app strings translated to Spanish, but I need some help translating the Google Play Listing.
For Portuguese, I don't have app translation, and I feel the need as the number of users speaking this language is increasing. Please download the XLIFF file for the strings. If you need them in any other format, please let me know.
I can help with russian.
My app strings: Google Drive SpreedSheet
Write me, if interest!
