Multiple language support
I would like to use the app in my home language. There are some websites that let the users help you with the translation (like crowdin).
TagSpaces support transation of user interface. It is aleady translatied in many languages.

Hi,
thanks for comment on this topic. And yes I agree with that using the TagSpaces it your language is big advantage. But currently I am not planing to share the reveneu from the android app, because the time invested in a translation in for example Spanish is just the fraction of the time I invested in this project, which is and will stay open source. Following your argumentation I will prefer to share revenue with the guy who created the js libraries I use, because they have done really great job!
As a small compensation for the translation job I will add the name of the translator and a link to his website in the about dialog of the application for all platforms including android.

Hi, Illian.
Since the mobile app costs money I'd like to know if people who contribute with translations will get some benefit in return.
I respect the right of everybody to make money with their work, of course, and you are doing a great work, but think that apps in Gplay don't sell as much if not translated, especially to big languages like spanish or portuguese; and if thanks to those translators you are going to make much more money, in justice there should be some compensation for those translators. Don't you think?I'd like to contribute too, but I honestly don't feel like working for free to make others get a monetary profit

No problem. I hope there will be more translators helping to translate the app into more languages and optimizing the current ones.

Hi Claudius,
I have created a new project on transifex.com for the translation of TagSpaces. https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tagspaces . I will be very happy if you can support me translating the project into german.
cheers,

Yes I am from Germany, but German is not my mother tongue, so your help will be appreciated.

Claudius Ellsel commented
Great to hear that. I am from Germany and would help you to translate, but I assume that you are from Germany as well, so I cannot contribute an additional language.

This will be a huge improvement of TagSpaces and I already did start the extraction of the strings used in TagSpaces. But it is a kind of time consuming, so I am not sure if I finish this for the next release. As soon as I have at least the main strings, I will use one of the translation platforms... What is your "home" language? Do you want to help me translate TagSpaces to your language?
