Hi,
I'm Melvin, the developer of App UFO.
I have been developing apps since 2012 & I know how important but frustrating App localisation is.
I am trying to solve this with AppUFO
Pulling context straight from the App Store listing instead of asking translators to work off bare keys is a smart shortcut - didn't realize it went that route. That should cut down a lot of the ambiguous cases without needing a whole review workflow.
congrats on the launch, localisation is exactly the kind of chore that eats a weekend right before you want to ship. one thing I'm curious about beyond the plural rules question already asked - the same source string sometimes needs different translations depending on context, like "Save" as a button vs "Save" as a noun in a settings label. does AppUFO give translators any way to see or add context for a string (comments, screenshot, surrounding key names), or is it working off the raw string key alone?
localisation is one of those things that always takes way longer than it should, so this is a welcome idea. curious how it handles plural rules and gendered strings though - languages like Arabic or Polish have way more plural forms than English, and that's usually where automated localisation tools fall apart and produce grammatically broken UI text. does AppUFO handle that at the ICU/stringsdict level or is it more of a straight string-for-string translation?
I'm wondering if you've seen an increase in users from new markets after localizing with your tool.
