Android App Translation Service

Made in San Francisco — We translate Android apps

Don't use Google Translate.

Hey, Google makes great Android development tools but it takes awesome human developers to create the Android apps. Localization is exactly the same. It requires professional, human translators to get Android app localization done right.

One-on-one

Android localization can be easy! We'll work directly with you about every last detail by email or phone. Forget about filing countless support tickets and getting only automated replies from “customer success“ bots. We integrate as part of your team.

Native speakers

Unlike many services, each of our translators localizes apps only into their native language. The result is Android app translations that sound completely natural. We even help with your English!

Mobile app experts

Our native team knows more local hand gestures than just pinch and swipe. We're known around the 'net for our Localization Glossary..

Localizing iOS too?

Localize at the same time.
At no extra charge.

Did you know that we never charge you again for a duplicate line? Not now, not years from now. Send us your Windows, iOS, and Web files in addition to Android at the same time and we can discount to $0 any exact duplicate lines. That means we'll translate your app across all your platforms at a fraction of the price, as long as they use the same English texts. We similarly charge you only once for that "Cancel" button you have 20 times.

Why pay again for something you've already translated?

Localized Android apps get featured on Google Play Store. Check out some of our favorite clients.
