Android sync strings.xml

Question

How can I sync my strings.xml in Android if I use localization and the new line should also be translated into values ​​-de / strings.xml, values-ru / strings.xml ...
Do I really need to copy it to an everey file or is there a translation management tool?

Answer 1

If you do not provide a translation, a default value will be found in /strings.xml if this file exists. MOTODEV Studio has a localization editor that allows you to see all your rows in a spreadsheet configuration, which may be easier for you to visualize. If you do not want to install MOTODEV Studio, you can install Sequoyah plugins in your Eclipse development environment and get most of the functionality.

UPDATE 2014/08/08 - Former MOTODEV plugins that were sent to AOSP find new life in a Github project called Proteus . The line editor is part of Proteus and can be used as-is. The automatic translation feature through Google Translate does not work, but the column editor works.

I understand your pain. That's what I'm doing. The Java program parses the string.xml file. It creates the string-de.csv. I put this file on docs.google.com for publication. I am using google translation function to populate auto-translate column. I found good users to help me fix this translation. I save the translated google document and create from it the values ​​-de / string.xml using the same Java program.
