FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Android string internationalization for hardcoded Chinese text?

To automate Android string internationalization, this Skill scans XML layouts and Kotlin/Java code for hardcoded Chinese strings, generates localized strings.xml resources, and updates code references automatically.

Can I automatically generate strings.xml files for multiple languages from existing Android code?

Yes, you can automatically generate strings.xml files from existing Android code. This Skill detects hardcoded text and creates localized resources for English, Russian, Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

What is the best way to replace hardcoded strings with resource references in an Android project?

The best way to replace hardcoded strings with resource references is by scanning XML and Kotlin/Java files, then automatically substituting the detected text with generated strings.xml identifiers.

Does this Android i18n tool support both Kotlin and Java source files?

Yes, this Android i18n tool supports both Kotlin and Java source files. It scans them for hardcoded Chinese strings and replaces the text with localized resource references.

When do I need to internationalize my Android app layout XML files?

You need to internationalize your Android app layout XML files when they contain hardcoded Chinese strings that must be extracted into a strings.xml file for multi-language translation support.

Why does my Android internationalization process require scanning both XML and Kotlin files?

Android internationalization requires scanning both XML and Kotlin files because hardcoded Chinese strings often exist in both layouts and source code, requiring extraction into strings.xml for complete localization.
