What about French ? 馃 no one mentioned it... I can take it.

@DamienDoumer go for it! :)

I will take Arabic for sure

@AbuMandour go for it! :)

Ill happily do Dutch.

@Char0394 How about Hindi? I can do that. Also, I am a participant in Hacktoberfest, is that a valid PR towards the Xamarin organization?

Let's hold off on the localization for the time being as we discuss this internally

Is there any problem in the documentation of the Hindi language?

Absolutely not @kichloo sorry if I made you think that :)

The thing we are worried about is that with each update of the sample app we also need to update all the languages. Since one person is not able to do that, we have to rely on a number of people to keep the translations up-to-date.

It is very unlikely that the translations will be updated that often, so we were wondering if we should maybe not translate the whole app but just add a localization sample with a couple of examples and leave it at that :)

@jfversluis No problem! But, I would definitely like to contribute in case this issue moves towards completion.

@jfversluis I agree and like that idea. In my opinion, the sample app does not need to be 100% localized. It is fine to have example how to do that and have a couple of different languages there. It will be easier for others to add some languages and for future maintenance. :)

Don't forget the Flow Direction of the page/control after changing the culture which should be applied to active and inactive pages in case of Tabbed or Modal Page too.
