Google unveils Android platform roadmap, accepts patches
Google has published a short-term roadmap for Android that provides some insight into the company’s plans for upcoming feature enhancements. Support for localization in the user interface and application framework are one of the major goals. Google aims to complete a German translation by the end of the year and will add French, Italian, and several other languages early next year. This will make it possible for carriers to bring Android-based devices to market in other countries.
