Language translation contribution for: Froody

I came across an interesting app that was in need of translation to local languages. Froody is essentially an application that focuses on organic foods, and is about sustainability, sharing and helping food enthusiasts. During the translation, I learnt more about this cool app and it's certainly something I'd like to explore more.

The public github for the project is available at:
https://github.com/froodyapp/froody-android

I participated in this project by contributing for the Hindi language, and it was started from scratch when it was at 0%. And as you can see in the below screenshot, the translation is completed and stands at 100%. It is awaiting approval which can be done by a different person, and once it is completed, it will be added to the list of completed translations.

The translation process basically comprised of three stages, as can be seen in below screenshot:

• Contributing to the strings-preferences.xml which consisted of 12 strings
• Contributing to the strings-types.xml which consisted of 2 pages of strings
• Contributing to the strings.xml which consisted of 2 pages of strings

The strings needed to be understood for context and translated to best convey the meaning. Some of the strings that I translated are as follows:

• मानचित्र पर वितरण प्रकार दिखाएं
• मानचित्र पर प्रमाणीकरण प्रकार दिखाएं
• अधिक ट्रैफ़िक के लिए टोर का उपयोग करें। कुछ तृतीय-पक्ष-पुस्तकालय (जैसे रिवर्स जियोओकोडर) प्रॉक्सी के माध्यम से कनेक्शन का समर्थन नहीं कर सकते हैं । परिवर्तन के लिए पुनरारंभ आवश्यक है
• मानचित्र पर प्रमाणीकरण प्रकार दिखाएं

The strings needed to be understood for context and translated to best convey the meaning. Some of the strings that I translated are as follows:

• इस एप्लिकेशन की भाषा बदलें. परिवर्तनों को प्रभावी करने के लिए एप्लिकेशन को पुन: प्रारंभ करें
• कृपया Froody को अपने डिवाइस के स्थान तक पहुंचने की अनुमति दें.\n\n\इस अनुमति के बिना आप Froody से प्रविष्टियों को प्रकाशित नहीं कर सकते हैं और नक्शे पर आपकी वर्तमान स्थिति निर्धारित नहीं की जा सकती।\n\n\ शीर्ष टूलबार पर स्थान-बटन दबाकर आप फिर से पता लगा सकते हैं।
• उपयोगकर्ता का पता नहीं लगा सकता । कृपया सिस्टम सेटिंग्स में स्थान सेवाएं सक्षम करें!
• त्रुटि: सर्वर से कनेक्ट नहीं कर सका या उपयोगकर्ता की जांच नहीं कर सका ।
