Please don't! Or at least make it possible to change the app language instead of following the system if you do. Plenty of apps have faulty 'translations' that just make the app unusable. Especially because app text typically has no context, so you get these weird literal translations.
Enjoy finding a literal english translation that corresponds to something I may want to do in your app!
My apps default to the system language and use English as a fallback. If I implement multiple translations users can change it in their settings.
Anyways, like many other open source developers, I work for free and am open to PRs.
