[android-developers] Re: "Live Wallpaper", "Menu button" etc in different languages

I am not sure that even a fluent speaker could translate "Live
Wallpaper" correctly.

And everybody who makes "Live Wallpapers" has the same problem, for
every language they translate into.

Its not just a matter of finding a (say) native Russian speaker; you
need a native Russian speaker who knows the terms used by Google in
Russian android phones.

As everybody has the same problem I thought somebody may have
assembled such a list.

What have you done about the problem? How did you solve it with your
apps?
