We were contacted by a group that was willing to translate Android applications into Chinese.
“hope your apps could be enjoyed by chinese users, haha.”
The method is to make sure that all text in the application is placed inside of strings in the resource fork of the application. We then sent them the XML of strings to translate. They then send back the translated XML, we put it into the same fork (but a different folder that can be selected when the user changes the system language on the phone), then send them back the newly compiled app.

We assume then that this company gets some sort of revenue through advertising, because our app is free, but if anyone can look at this page and tell us more, then that would be great!
