Consider using e.g. https://www.transifex.com to translate the language files. You don't need to be an developer to translate this app.

Yes, that's a good suggestion. We have used transifex in the past for a web project and it was very good. Will look into what the approach is for android.

I was looking into this today, and can confirm that you can upload the app's /res/values-en/strings.xml file into Transifex and it works great! Here's what the result looked like: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/panicbutton-test/

When you create a new project, upload that file and then select Android String Resources (.xml) as the file type. It didn't work the first time for me, but it was fine when I tried again.

Thanks for trying this! We also have (most) strings in the assets/ folder so we need to give this a try too.
