FYI I publish change logs about the same time I make full roll out on Google Play.

After that, it's only up to Google how long it will take to go live.

Sometimes it's less than an hour, but last couple updates required as much as ~10 hours.

It seems Google has significantly slowed down processing, even though it's beta and there are only about 100k beta users.

If you are a translator, I also recommend subscribing to @tgx_android_translate.

I'll publish localization-related information there, including important changes related to strings usage in the UI, so you could check if it looks good after an update.

Some languages have become available in Settings – Language.

In case you see some string that could have been translated better, please submit your suggestion to the Translations Platform. Use search to find the string, and don't forget to switch to your language first.

In case you are a translator and would like to see some improvements to the app for better localization (separate string key, plural instead of regular string, UI changes, etc), don't hesitate to submit suggestions to the testing group with #translate hashtag.
