External translations editor for Android Studio

Is there anyway to install the Android Studio Translations editor without installing the whole of Android Studio?

This is my use case:
I am in the process of making an app, that uses resource strings wherever text is needed. I want to translate my app, but not having any language skills to do so myself, I am getting someone else to do so.
They are not a technical user so editing the XML directly is not an option, and I don't really want to make them install Android Studio, so are there any other options?

I would be surprised if this isn't a normal use case, so what do people normally do?

In those cases, what developers usually do is converting the string XML files to CSV, so that a translator can easily use excel to translate what's needed.

When the work's done you just convert the CSV back to XML.

There's an Android Studio plugin that can help you with that, or as an alternative, you can use this python script.
