Philology

An easy way to dynamically replace Strings of your Android App or provide new languages Over-the-air without needed to publish a new release on Google Play

The problem strings are inside our App

If there's a typo or you find a better way to express something, a new version needs to be deployed to include the newer translation. This is a slow process and a poor user experience. We all know users take their time to update an app and there's also the time Google Play takes to make a new version of an app available

How Philology solves this problem?

Philology doesn't replace the way you are using resources. It improves the process by intercepting the value returned from your hardcoded translation files inside of the app and check if there is a newer value in the server. This allows for typo fixing, better wording or even for adding a new language. All in real time, without releasing a new version. With Philology you could replace hardcoded texts instantly and win time before a new release is d
