Android Ukrainian Localization
Ukrainian Android OS - Demo #1
Introduction
Android Ukrainian Localization provides an environment to operate with Android OS
in Ukrainian. To reach the most users in the most effective way, developers will
want to localize applications to the native languages spoken. Android OS provides
developers with an easy and comfortable way to localize their application. Android
provides a framework that allows developers to separate UI from application logic.
Generally, Android split an application's UI into 3 general concepts:
- The layout of a UI (buttons, labels and so on). Android allows developers to specify
these controls declaratively via XML files.
- Assets used to implement or "fill in" a UI, such as sounds and images.
- Application code that drives the various behaviors of the UI.
Android loads resources such as XML files from the project's 'res/' directory. Android
can also selectively load resources from different directories, based on locale.
For example, application code might refer to a string value named 'R.string.title'.
Android will choose the correct value for that string at runtime by loading the
appropriate strings.xml file from a matching 'res/values' directory. For instance,
if the current locale is 'en-US', then Android will look for a value for R.string.title
by looking in the following files: 'res/values-en-rUS/strings.xml', 'res/values-en/strings.xml',
'res/values/strings.xml'. So, localization process consists of the creating appropriate
XML files of each locale.
For purpose of simplifying translation was specially developed application - Android
Localizer, developer localization utility. Android Localizer is a simple application
written with use of .NET Framework, intended to simplify localization of the application
as much as possible, give user and developer a new tool that helps in localization
providing.
Android Ukrainian Localization is a common solution of Android OS localization problem,
chosen by a number of customers, also will facilitate your introduction in Android
platform. There are also some problems concerned to oriental languages localization
related to the issues with improper shaping of the Arabic or Hebrew letters in Android
OS. It is known that Arabic or Hebrew letters change their shape depending on position
in the word. Thus, despite of Android right-to-left languages support, localization
of the oriental languages seems to be very complicated task.
