App translators is requested...

A great OS needs to be widely localized and so does its applications. Therefore I think we need a thread dedicated for app developers to request for translators help, so here it is...

Many apps are indeed translated into various languages and that is great, but far from enough if you ask me, so lets change this together. I know I'm doing what I can, but I can translate into one single language only (Swedish) and we need more. So, come on Sailfish users... get on with it and start translating your favourite app into your native language. It's fun and satisfactory! Really!

Any presumptive translator who think this is a good idea but needs a bit of help on how to, are welcome to contact me at any time on PM or email (eson at svenskasprakfiler dot se), and I will try to answer related questions to my best ability.

Last but not least. I'm not a developer (yet), but I will make the first translators request anyway, just to get it started (and because it's a great app that needs more translators).

Edit: Thu Feb 01

Worth to mention is that there is almost always a need for updates to maintain translations. Translators who are using Transifex service can get automatic notifications by email when there is new or changed strings in their translations, by hitting the "eye" seen below...
