Re: Übersetzung von Android

Unless there is a legal requirement to include specific language in
your region for software and/or hardware distribution, any attempts to
contact Google to include X language in the Android OS would probably
useless (for now).

Even if you completed the translation of the AOSP parts, there are
much larger parts of "Android" softwares and support documentss that
needs to be translated/localized: the Google apps (not that GSuite).
I'm pretty sure they have armies of vendors translating them.
And then there are device makers (with those extra built-in apps),
they have the final says which Android version (and the translation)
is going to land on their devices. One translated string ends up in
Samsung devices may not necessarily ends up in Motorola devices for
example, even they are marketed as the same Android Pie version.
