Thank you very much! I've implemented your suggestions (1), (2) and (3). They were of great help!
The language code is not in the URL because the project should be platform-independent. My "vision" is to add support for platforms other than Android later while re-using most parts of the project. And the language code is platform-specific.
Automatic translations will be added and paid translations may be added in the future. But first, I want to verify if anybody is interested in the project at all :)
Thanks! That was fast. I'm definitely interested - most of my apps are translated by users and I've been emailing xml files back and forth. Not fun for anyone.
I started that way, too. I kept sending XML files to users and they kept sending Word documents back to me. There are quite a few competitors -- such as <transifex.com>, <poeditor.com>, <crowdin.net> and <getlocalization.com> -- which are all very well done. However, I felt that a free (and even self-hostable) solution would be desirable. Localize, compared to all the other platforms, has the simplest ways for non-tech users to contribute translations. It's even possible to accept anonymous contributions. That way, I've localized an app to 48 languages, so it definitely seems to work :)
