Naming Conventions

Android resources files are named strings.xml. Typically, an Android application will have one strings.xml base file located under a directory named values. The corresponding translated resource bundle will be also named strings.xml and located under a directory named values-fr (for French) at the same level as values.

For example, for a few locales, the directory structure and file names would be:

 res/values/strings.xml
 res/values-de/strings.xml
 res/values-es/strings.xml
 res/values-fr/strings.xml
 res/values-it/strings.xml
 res/values-ja/strings.xml
 res/values-ko/strings.xml
 res/values-pt/strings.xml
 res/values-ru/strings.xml
 res/values-zh/strings.xml

The bold file is the base file (U.S. English in this instance since <default-locale>en</default-locale>) to be translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portugese, Russian, and Chinese.

Example strings.xml File For Android

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
  <string name="menu_find">Find</string>
  <string name="menu_historical_search">Search Historical Records</string>
  <string name="person_activity_title">Person</string>
  <string name="label_person_tree_button">View This Tree</string>
  <string name="label_person_other">Other</string>
  <string name="label_person_name">Name</string>
  <string name="label_person_details">Details</string>
  <string name="fact_detail_sub_header_reason">Reason This Information Is Correct</string>
  <string name="fact_detail_footer_modified">Modified</string>
  <string name="fact_detail_send_email_chooser">Choose an Email Client</string>
  <string name="fact_detail_send_email_error_no_client">Email app not found</string>
  <string name="fact_name_label">Name</string>
 </resources>
