Translation engine for non english speakers. - Desire HD General

Lately I've been seeing a few posts from non english speaking members who try to write in english or others who use the google translator. Sometimes it becomes difficult to understand what they are trying to say. I have found that the bing translator is a much better engine than google. Well, at least for the languages I speak. If others could double check with their own languages it would be nifty and thus, minimizing possible such and such - you get the point - due to a language barrier.
While my personal rate for google would be 6/10 I would give bing 8/10 - even maybe 9/10 for the accuracy of the translation.
Edit: I'll update the OP as reports come in stating which translation engine is better with which languages. I will trust that each person is fluent in both languages when reporting.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for the effectiveness of such reports nor the accuracy of the engines. If hell breaks loose because the wrong demon was invoked or someone ordered take out and the engine said nuclear strike, well, we will won't be around to complain.
Below are the respective engines with the reported languages to work.

As I mentioned, for the languages I speak which are English and Spanish. My German isn't good enough to make that assesment.
If you would be kind enough to edit your post and include which are the languages you are fluent in so we can know which engine is better with which languages.
The idea behind this is to determine which engines translate with the minimum amount of mistakes as to help the non english speakers use that engine. So that when they need help or tell us something it will be easier to understand and thus, minimizing the language barrier - which could result if such were not the case, a misunderstanding.

找了几个地方都没有专业研究Android的社区。看到此贴的同胞们请给个学习的地址。机锋网、安卓等就不用介绍了。想找个更专业一点的讨论开发的社区一起学习。

yyyyyy what ???? man for me this means the same what for you @$#@%#$^$#@%&*&%^[email protected]#%#^$%^&&%%$&*^(*&*&^%*$*^%#@$^$# . This is an international forum so use English if u wanna help from us!
Hey it's quite easy to read... If you pay some attention you would see that those are pretty nice drawings ...
I can see a 7 (second character)... an umbrella (4th character)... And then you can see clear as water the word ANDROID ...
I can actually speak 3 kinds of languages... Spanish, English and pure bullsh*t (with all the respect that chinese, korean, japanese, klingon or whatever language it is)
This is what google translate says:
To find a few places there is no Android professional research community. See the Citie compatriots Qing Geige study addresses. Machine-feng network, Andrews, etc. do not need introduction. Would like to find a little more professional to discuss the development of community learning together.
Aparently I dont understand what he means with that
Am I the only one confused here?
i think he wants us to help him make a nuclear missile to drop on an android phone and thus turn android into an iphone? my chinese is bad...
all I see is a buncha square's
maybe if you want to discuss with this community you should start to write in english.

也许如果你想在这个社区讨论你应该开始写英文。

[project] [devs-wanted] Agriculture Register/Guidance/Managing App

Hi,
as smartphones getting more popular each day, the people who use them come from all different kinds of branches. What makes me wonder is that there are no usefull apps for agriculture.
I think it's time to build a good piece of software for farmers to manage their fields with the help of android devices. Just to let you know what's on my mind, have a look at this site: http://www.trimble.com/agriculture/guidance.aspx
Google brings us everything we need. Docs, Fusion Tables, Maps, Earth and tons of API's. It's just a question, how these services can be combined, to make them usefull and efficient!
If there are people who are interested in building an app for agricultural management, please let me know. My part can only be the practical expierence. So what I need for this project are people with programming skills (GPS, graphics, design).
Greetz from sunny Bavaria,
berkley
P.S.
Excuse my poor English!
I'm a developer I can make what you want but my time isn't for free. . If you are interested please PM me.

Thanks for your offer. But I am not looking for programming services.
I thought about serious teamwork in opening up a market gap!

MIUI on Chinese Forum

Can someone translate this? Unfortunately my Chinese is poor, so I cannot even read my own language.

Seems like it's an update to the MIUI ROM and seems good to try.

You can try google translate to translate the web page into English
it's about a new MIUI update (based on MIUI beta5), plus some other modifications made by the OP
Haha yeah thanks guys. I can do the translation too, but the translation is really off. I can't figure out the steps to do his Beta 5. He doesn't have a proper link to it. He has links to Beta 4 though.
The post says you'll need to reply to see the ROM download address (of course, you'll need to have an account first). BTW, many forums (bbs) in China do the same way, that's why you see a lot of very short replies there.

Yes...I know that. Lol, you must think I am some sort of idiot. That isn't to Beta 5, but the Alpha3...unless he just didn't change the name. Thanks for your help though. Also the download speed is god awful.
No I didn't think that way. I thought you missed that attachment simply because you don't understand chinese at all but apparently you do. I noticed that file name too but thought maybe the OP was just lazy to change it.
as for downloading, did you hear a tool provided by 115 called 115UDown? it makes downloading from that site a lot faster. But I'm not quite sure it has an English GUI or not. There's an english tutorial though, with annotations on the chinese GUI.
Edit: the tut is here: http://cnbluestorm.com/2011/02/21/tutorial-how-to-download-from-u115/
it's also based xda version.

[APP] Translator

Hey XDA people,
I'm looking for a nice person which translates my application (and the play store description) in other languages.. The app is already translated to English, but I dont know if my translation is correct and written in a good "style"..
Here is the link to the store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.clevercomputing.rumms
How is interested in this "job"?
Best wishes

How do you promote your app, once they get translated - Germany, Russian, Turkish

Hi all,
I have a note taking app (https://wenote.jstock.co)
Originally, the language of the app is in English and Taiwan Chinese. So, how I promote is
English - via Reddit forums. Time-to-time, people will raise questions regarding to what note taking app they should use. I will take such opportunity to introduce my app.
Taiwan Chinese - via some Taiwan Chinese forums for Android app related topic. As, I can speak and read Taiwan Chinese natively, so not a big deal for me.
This is some how effective, as I start gaining traffic from Taiwan, and some English speaking countries.
Recently, some volunteers help me to translate the note taking app into the following languages.
Germany
Russian
Turkish
I was wondering, what are some effective ways I can promote the app to the above countries user, if I can't read their language at all?
For instance, I know some popular tech related publishing sites in Turkish like webtekno.com, shiftdelete.net and donanimhaber.com. However, since I can't read their language, I will get lost very quickly, once I try to browse their sites to find a person contact. I also find it very difficult to open an account successfully at their forums (if any), as I can't read their language.
I know hiring a native marketers (For the respective language) is the best way. But right now, since the app is not generating any revenue, I don't have such budget to do so.
Do you have any suggestion, on how to promote the app to Germany, Russian, Turkish speakers? Thanks.
App Needs Traffic
I do agree that posting can influence into the installs status, but it's not enough for decent promotion.
You need big volumes of traffic in order your app can increase the Store positions.
Here are the main factors influencing the app ranking in the Store:
1. Installs Amount
2. Installs Retention
3. Keyword Discoverability
4. Average Rating Mark
5. Positive Comments
All these activities should be provided initially you have published your app in the App Store or Google Play. Besides, do not ignore the reviews as it is very important aspect for brand loyality.
Since that I need to say that installs and positive reviews play prime role in the app success and visibility for real people. Many app owners chooseKeenMobi[/URL] company to improve the traffic for app to reach top charts of the Store.
