Create your own Android apps in almost any language

This press note has been published as it is without any editing.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Acknowledging the size and diversity of its user base, Andromo App Maker for Android (http://www.andromo.com) has announced multilingual functionality that supports the most frequently spoken languages in the world. Now, both individual developers and companies can create apps for a global audience, further establishing Andromo as the ideal choice for international mobile app development going forward.

“While Andromo has certainly been popular in the US and Canada, it’s the rest of the world that has truly been driving our growth,” explained Andromo Founder Colin Adams. “To better serve the needs of our international community, all of the app maker’s built-in text will now be available in a variety of languages – we’re starting with 24, but plan to add more in the future.”

Developers from more than 100 countries have flocked to Andromo, thanks largely to the platform’s efficiency and ease of use. No coding knowledge is necessary to immediately start creating functional, dynamic mobile apps. The platform consists of an assortment of ready-made modules representing the most in-demand app features, from photo galleries and YouTube videos to RSS feeds and eBook viewers.

The languages supported by Andromo are a carefully selected cross section of today’s mobile app development marketplace, representing both the developed world and emerging markets. The 24 available languages include, but are not limited to:

Arabic
Chinese (simplified and traditional)
French
German
Hebrew
Hindi
Japanese
Korean
Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal)
Russian
Spanish (Latin American and Spain)
Swedish
Thai
Turkish
Vietnamese

Taking advantage of Andromo’s language features requires no special effort. The apps automatically detect the selected language of particular devices and then presents the user interface in that language, provided that it’s supported of course. The user interface includes button, menus and system messages, but not user-added content; to present content that’s not part of the platform’s built-in text in a specific language, developers only need to rebuild the app with the content appropriately translated.

Developers can test the multilingual capability of Andromo by changing their device’s language and input settings to another language supported by the platform; upon loading an app, the user interface text should have adjusted to reflect the new language choice.

The market for mobile apps is already huge and still growing, especially in the developing world. A UN Report last year estimated that mobile broadband subscriptions were poised to top 2 billion. Meanwhile, an industry report from Ericsson predicts that by 2016, smartphone subscriptions will outnumber basic phones; by 2019, mobile broadband subscriptions could hit 7.6 billion, more than the world’s population. Each of those subscriptions represents a potential mobile app user.

Andromo has made it possible for anyone in the world to become a mobile app developer – anyone with a great app idea, or just the urge to flex their creative muscles, is encouraged to register for an account today and see just what’s possible.

MoboRobo smartphone PC manager lets you control mobile device features from desktop

Mobile phones are tiny though cute instruments, capable of delivering almost everything a desktop can. But there’s an essential difference between the 2. Smartphones can be very frustrating to use because of their size. To make the latter easier to use, the MoboRobo smartphone PC manager lets you control mobile device features from your desktop, & manages everything from syncs to app data backups.

The tiny screens aren’t that much fun to use as compared to the large screens offered by desktops & laptops. This is where the MoboRobo smartphone PC manager comes in handy by giving you the option to use your PC for managing all your smartphone device features.

For instance, if you’re working on your desktop or laptop, you don’t have to reach for the phone every time you get a message or want to accept or receive a call. You can use MoboRobo to do all this & just about everything that you do directly on the smartphone.

More importantly, MoboRobo also lets you take app data backups, & will be able to restore all your apps & app data, & also your photos, videos, messages & call logs, in case something goes wrong & everything gets wiped out. Oh, & you can also use it to transfer data from your Android device to an iOS device, or the other way round.

moboroboUsing MoboRobo is pretty simple, too. Download & install it on your PC, & then connect to your mobile device wirelessly or through a microUSB cable. If you plan to connect wirelessly, you’ll need to download the Mobo Daemon app on your phone. That’s about all there is to it.

The software was created for Android-powered devices, & offers full functionality for Android phones. You can use it for iOS devices too, but you will need a jailbroken iPhone or iPad to make full use of all the features MoboRobo offers.

Founded in 2011, MoboRobo.com is a software & application development company with free-to-use products for the Android platform such as MoboRobo, MoboRead, MoboPlay, MoboGames & MoboMarket.
