Translation of iPhone App

Question

I would like to localize my app (as suggested from Apple) to several languages like English, Spanish, French, etc...

Well I don't speak or understand all those languages, at least my translations look awkward to native speakers.

(Results from online translators are a first start but of course insufficient.) So does anybody know a service/platform where I can get translations from human native speakers mutually.

For example:

I speak German mother tongue and need my app/text/website translated to English.

Some other guy might speak English mother tongue and needs his app/text/website translated to German. So I could do it for him and he for me. Without paying money, but with high quality, because both have a benefit. Unfortunately I don't have a clue how to find this guy, do you have an idea? Is there a platform on the internet which could help out?

My google research did not get a valuable result.

Answer 1

I would suggest using a professional service, speaking a language does not mean you can do a good translation.

There are a few recommended vendors from apple: https://developer.apple.com/internationalization/#vendors

I work for Supertext and we also do lots of app translations.
