localization support

[cpg]

this task is to enable the app to become fully localization available, including directions for translators on easily providing a new locale.

i can translate to spanish. some related strings that may be useful here are available in the platform locale strings.

@cpg If it's fine I can help with hindi. Thanks

clarification. this task is NOT about translation (though that is appreciated), but about supporting localization and outlining the process for others to easily produce localizations.

Well android already provides localisation support. Instead of hardcoding the strings we put them in the strings.xml(which already has been done). What we need to do is create more strings.xml like /values-hi/strings.xml for hindi /values-ja/strings.xml for japanese and so on. For more details we can have a look at the android docs. https://developer.android.com/training/basics/supporting-devices/languages.html

@cpg I think this issue can be closed.

@cpg You could use a localisation platform so that people with no coding experience can easily translate the strings to their native language. These are a few I've used: Transifex (https://www.transifex.com) and Lokalise (https://lokalise.co).

Both offer a free plan for open source projects.
