Hmm. Maybe Mark on our team can help out with this. He does a lot of
work with our Transifex projects.

Transifex is just meant to be a helpful online tool. The project is
open-source, and you can get to the files directly here:
https://github.com/guardianproject/Gibberbot/blob/master/res/values/strings.xml

The strings are all stored in the Android XML format. This is fairly
easy to use, if you know how to edit XML. You just need to check out the
source code

Have you tried TextSecure? It is well known, open-source, and software
we have personally done some testing and verification of.

It is also open-source:
