After analyzing each one of them, It is concluded that the best option is to use an online platform for the translation, because it is automatized and it speeds up the whole translation process and, furthermore, It guarantees cohesivity and suitability, since they are translated by workers instead of automatic translators that might make untrustworthy translations Currently there are several platforms working on this task, Some of the most relevant ones are being studied, focusing and pointing out their most important characteristics. In the second part, the management of the multi-language platform in an android app, called Adheptor, is introduced.
