string-extraktor

To extract hardcoded German strings from Android Kotlin and Compose code, scan your project files to identify text literals, validate them against German orthography, and automatically convert them into i18n-friendly string resources in strings.xml.

The best way to prepare an Android project for i18n localization is to scan for hardcoded texts, move them into strings.xml with proper naming conventions, and add XLIFF tags, plurals, and translator comments for consistent translation.

The string extraction process handles both XML layouts and Compose files by scanning them for hardcoded strings, then safely replacing the identified text with string resource references during the creation phase.

To ensure extracted German string resources follow correct orthography and typography, the extraction workflow includes a strict audit phase that validates all identified texts against German language rules and CLDR plurals.

Yes, you can automatically generate translator comments and XLIFF tags for Android string resources during the creation phase, which structures the extracted text with placeholders and metadata for translation.

When replacing hardcoded text with string resource references in Android, the limitation is that safe string usage must be strictly enforced to prevent code breaks, requiring a stepwise scan, create, and verify workflow.
