Language Transfer is an Android application like the one below. It is a language learning app that allows you to learn Spanish and Arabic by voice.

On August 14, 2021, SyntaxBlitz suddenly received a notification from Google that 'Language Transfer contains a link leading to the donation page, which violates the payment policy.' It was also reported that Language Transfer has been removed from Google Play.

To actually follow the 'How to access the donation page from Language Transfer' illustrated by Google, first swipe down on the home screen of the app and tap 'About Language Transfer'. Then tap the 'Visit languagetransfer.org' link to

access 'languagetransfer.org/about '.

Then go to '

languagetransfer.org ', tap the 'Paypal' link at the bottom of the page, and tap 'Donate'. The above procedure is complete.

SyntaxBlitz says he develops his own app, doesn't have in-app ads, and needs donations for his life. When SyntaxBlitz first published the app on Google Play in May 2020, he included a link in the app that would allow direct access to the donation site Patreon, but that point was pointed out and the app was published to Google. It was rejected.

So SyntaxBlitz replaced the link to the donation page with a link to the Language Transfer website and released the app untouched for over a year, but for some reason it was suddenly deleted. That's why.

Regarding this matter, there was a debate among users that 'Google may be in violation of antitrust law.' However, the next day SyntaxBlitz said that Language Transfer has been removed from Google Play, 'link the app was resurrected as is' and the report has been, there remain reasons unclear which was revived also why the application has been deleted It is said. At the time of writing the article, Language Transfer can be installed from Google Play.
