+## Translating the app ## 
+
+Thanks to the translation work of many volunteers this app is available in a multitude of languages.
+
+Translation of the text content of the Wikimedia Commons Android app happens on the [Commons Android App project][10] on [translatewiki.net][11]. If you want to help translate the app please create an account there (to get "translate rights" edit 20 [random keys][13] or ask in their [chat][14]). 
+
+The translations from the translatewiki project are [periodically committed directly to this project][12] by the translatewiki team and later released with the normal updates to the Play Store.
