I`m still learning android development and come with one app which I want to localize to multiple languages.

But please help me a little bit with values folder structure. I have main values folder and in it I have analytics.xml, strings.xml,styles.xml,mraid_attr.xml and colors.xml.

When I make new folder for localization, eg: values-fr I must put all of these files in it or just string.xml where I have translated strings?

You can just put your translated strings in your localization folder, but Lint will warn you about non-translated strings.

So if you have configuration strings (i.e no translation needed), create a separate XMl (like config.xml) and let only your translated strings on your localization folders.

  • I dont have configuration string in strings.xml, just text for buttons etc :) So this will be ok? http://prntscr.com/6qqsrv Can I just ask where can I find country flags shortcodes? Because in some tutorials is writen there must be values-fr_rFR, and on other sites is just values-fr? – Karnak Apr 07 '15 at 15:01

    You can find country codes here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7973023/what-is-the-list-of-supported-languages-locales-on-android If you add a values-fr folder, it will be take by Belgium, Canada, France and Switzerland. But if you just want France, you can use values-fr_rFR, or values-fr_rCA for Canada. Don't forget to put your question a resolved ;) – Alexis Burgos Apr 08 '15 at 15:39
