Naming Conventions
Android resources bundles 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) to be translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portugese, Russian, and Chinese.
Example strings.xml File For Android
