+ While translating your store listing and universal app campaign ads (if you have any) can make

+
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Use the Google Play App Translation Service</strong>: For your convenience, Google Play
+ provides an <a href="https://support.google.com/l10n/answer/6359997">App Translation Service</a>
+ that is integrated directly into the <a href="https://support.google.com/l10n/answer/6341304">

+ Studio</a>. Using this professional, human service, you can order translations for your app,
+ store listing text, in-app purchase products, and universal app campaign ads all in one go.
+ You’ll get instant estimates from multiple vendors, all with the convenience of ordering and
+ paying online.
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <strong>Do it yourself</strong>: If you or your colleagues know the target languages, you can
+ translate everything yourself using any text editor, or you can use the
+ <a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/androidstudio087released">Android Studio Translation
+ Editor</a>.
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <strong>Use a third-party translation service</strong>: You can use a translation service
+ that is offered by one of the many translation companies available online.
