android error in String.xml

Question

i didn't actually make use of it anywhere in the app, and app was running fine ( i still have an .apk backup ) but when i tried to Export .apk file through Eclipse , suddenly error appeared in String.xml file :

<string name="app_name">PUCIT Aggregate Calculator</string>
<string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
<string name="action_settings">Settings</string>
<string name="title_activity_data">Data</string>

there is a error mark (red cross before all these four lines ) saying :

"title_activity_data" is not translated in af, am, ar, bg, ca, cs, da, de, el, en-rGB, en-rIN, es, es-rUS, et-rEE, fa, fi, fr, fr-rCA, hi, hr, hu, hy-rAM, in, it, iw, ja, ka-rGE, km-rKH, ko, lo-rLA, lt, lv, mn-rMN, ms-rMY, nb, nl, pl, pt, pt- rPT, ro, ru, sk, sl, sr, sv, sw, th, tl, tr, uk, vi, zh-rCN, zh-rHK, zh-rTW, zu

Do you have some alternative values folders? Such as values-de, or values-pl? — Procurares, Jul 24 '14 at 11:54
Your project -> Properties -> Android Lint Preferences -> MissingTranslation (ignore it and it will be ok). — luiscosta, Jul 24 '14 at 11:57

It is an ignorable warning because of missing translations.

Navigate to the preferences (Window -> Preferences -> Android -> Lint Error Checking) and set "Missing Translation" to WARNING or IGNORE.

You can try as per suggestion given here (Not verified)

<string name="title_activity_data" translatable="false">Data</string>

It's just a lint check, you've probably added the localised folders to your project and it is complaining. You can change the type of error for these issues on Eclipse and make them to be 'warning' instead of 'error'. You can go to your Eclipse -> Preferences ...search for Lint and then you can change the type of the errors for 'Missing Translation'.
