An application to help translating other android apps!
About this app
The Translator is a simple application to help translate android apps.
Features
- A simple, but elegant UI to display the individual lines of a language string. - Intelligently guide users to avoid mistakes. - Directly share (after saving) strings with the developers. - Long press to remove an individual line. - Dark and Light themes. - Includes translations of a number of languages (Please help me to translate this app - Original string.xml available at at GitHub). - & A lot more
How it work?
- Get the original 'string.xml' (or the URL to the same) from your developer (or from the source repo, if the app is open-source). - Import the same (from 'sdcard' or from URL) to the Translator (Settings --> Import 'string'). - The app will list each and every translatable string as separate entries. - Click on each of them and replace the original text with the translation from your language. - Please follow on-screen instructions to avoid mistakes (RED colour - Error). - Once you finished, save your work by clicking the save button on the bottom (or on Settings --> View 'string'). - Send the new xml file generated at 'sdcard' to your developer and patiently wait for an update

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)
Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager
Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.sunilpaulmathew.translator is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, v0.17 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall The Translator first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of The Translator, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets The Translator do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
