## Automating Google Play Store Translation via Translatewiki

**Objective**: we want to automate the translation process of our Google Play store entries via Translatewiki. This will help in making the apps available in multiple languages, making it accessible to a larger audience.

**Approach**: we suggest using Kotlin and Gradle to develop a tool that can handle the translations. Your tool will extract the app’s text content and send it to Translatewiki for translation. After the translation is completed, the tool will automatically update the Google Play store entry with the translated text.

**Deliverables**:

- A Kotlin-based tool that can extract text content from Google Play store entries.
- Integration with Translatewiki for translation.
- Automated updating of Google Play store entries with translated text.
- A comprehensive guide for app developers to use the tool for their Google Play store entries.

**Skills required**:

- Good understanding of Kotlin and Gradle;
- be somewhat familiar with the Google Play store and Translatewiki.

**Difficulty**: Hard, but once you’ve figured it out it should go quickly and 175 hours or so should suffice.
