Google today launched the App Translation Service, first previewed at its Google I/O 2013 conference, to all Android developers. The new offering lets developers browse a list of third-party vendors pre-qualified by Google to offer high-quality translation at “competitive prices.”

 

Best of all, the service is integrated straight into the Google Play Developer Console (it’s at the bottom of the APK section). Developers simply need to get their APK ready for translation, upload the strings they want translated, select their target languages, and choose a vendor based on time and price. When the translations are ready, developers can easily import them back into their app using the ADT Translation Manager Plugin.

 

Pretty cool stuff right here, so let's say you want an app that's not in your native language, you can essentially get it now...well not now...but whenever the developer integrates it into the app. I'm wondering if this applies to Google Translate...because while Google Translate is ok, it's definitely far from the best, so seeing a 3rd party Google Translate app would be cool as well, although I guess you could make one without the help from Google, still though...

OR you could just learn every language. Wait... That'd take time and effort... Oh man...
