Which languages do you prioritise? How many do you need to cover to get the double/triple benefit?
- auser678 14y agoDepends on the kind of apps. Japan and China are huge markets, but a western oriented app may not work there. While that same app can work when localized for France, Germany etc These are the major languages I would look at 1. Spanish 2. Portugese 3. German 4. French 5. Chinese 6. Japanese
- andrewljohnson 14y agoSort by economic wealth, but really, why prioritize? It's only .07 per word to translate an app, less if you are creative.
- adrianpike 14y agoWhere do you get your translations done, if you don't mind me asking?
- gspyrou 14y agoI have localized some of my WP7 apps using gengo.com .
- andrewljohnson 14y agoI've used gengo.com, icanlocalize.com, and also random sources - sometimes users help, our head of support speaks French, and our intern speaks Mandarin.
