Re: Übersetzung von Android

The short answer is sadly no. I've been looking into this for years 
myself for Gaelic. There is a translation infrastructure of course but 
unless Google specifically wants a language there, it's not going to end 
up on devices. And talking to Google is, well, not a fruitful exercise, 
trust me...

The only approach that may work (now that B2G and Ubuntu Mobile are 
dead) is to find an Android distro that is open to localization into 
languages that Google doesn't give a hoot about. A few years ago, that 
was CyanogenMod and because there were a few manufactures who had this 
distro on their handsets (Wileyfox for example) for a while I had a 
Gaelic Android phone because our translations did end up in the builds. 
But then of course Cyanogen folded ... the successor project is 
LineageOS and we're working on the localization again 
(https://crowdin.com/project/lineageos) but at the moment, this OS is 
not on any device as a default OS so you'd have to get a compatible 
phone and flash Lineage over the stock Android. Which is doable but not 
practical for most end users.

We're still translating it in the hope that if LineageOS matures, 
eventually there will be some handsets with LineageOS as the default OS 
which in theory then means users could access the Gaelic UI.

One word of advice - make frequent backups if you start doing Sorbian. 
When Cyanogen went down over night, we hadn't done a backup in ages and 
lost most of the translations.
