Unlocking Multilingual App Development with Android Studio Translation Plugin

The Android Studio Translation Plugin is a tool for Android developers that facilitates the localization of applications by integrating directly into Android Studio. Key features include real-time translation previews, batch processing for multiple strings, a translation memory system for consistency, API connectivity with services like Google Translate, and support for over 100 languages. To set up the plugin, developers must install it through Android Studio's plugin marketplace, configure settings for source and target languages, and connect to a translation API. Translating an app involves selecting strings in the strings.xml file and using the plugin to translate them, with real-time updates in the layout editor. The plugin enhances developer workflow by automating localization tasks, reducing the risk of errors, and allowing for simultaneous translations. It also helps maintain translation consistency and improves app quality by identifying missing translations. Real-world use cases demonstrate its effectiveness in scaling applications for international markets, such as an e-commerce app that translated over 500 strings and an educational app that localized content for various Indian languages.

Google for India: Android battles scammers, Gemini languages and loans on Pay

Google unveiled advancements at the Google for India keynote, focusing on user experience and security. The Gemini Live AI assistant now understands nine Indian languages. Google Pay is expanding to include lending and credit options, while Android is piloting enhanced fraud protection to safeguard users from scams. Android holds a global market share of 71.65%, reaching 95.73% in India. The new fraud protection feature pauses the installation of unverifiable apps for user scanning. This builds on last year's real-time scanning for installed apps and aims to combat risks from side-loading apps. Google is enhancing services across Gemini, Search, and Maps with AI, including support for nine Indian languages and generative AI results. Google Pay is partnering with NBFCs to introduce credit and lending options, particularly gold-backed loans. Google.org is promoting education and AI literacy in India with grants and developing an AI-powered coaching app. Google plans to establish a Google Safety Engineering Center in India next year to focus on security and online safety products.
