Lint: How to ignore “ is not translated in ” errors?

Question

I can\'t compile/debug our Android app, because the localization files are not perfect yet.

My IDE\'s validation tool Lint create errors saying:

Answer 1

Android Studio:

• "File" > "Settings" and type "MissingTranslation" into the search box

Eclipse:

• Windows/Linux: In "Window" > "Preferences" > "Android" > "Lint Error Checking"
• Mac: "Eclipse" > "Preferences" > "Android" > "Lint Error Checking"

Find the MissingTranslation line, and set it to Warning as seen below:

Answer 2

Insert in the lint.xml file this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lint>
    ...

    <issue
        id="MissingTranslation"
        severity="ignore" />
</lint>

Answer 3

Add following to your gradle file in android section

    lintOptions {
       disable 'MissingTranslation'
    }

Answer 4

Another approach is to indicate the languages you intend to support and filter out the rest using the 'resConfigs' option with Gradle.

This is better, I think, because you don't have to completely ignore legitimate translation mistakes for languages you actually want to support

Answer 5

add the lines in your /res/values.xml file in resource root tab like this:

<resources
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" 
    tools:locale="en" tools:ignore="MissingTranslation">

tools:locale set the local language to English, no need of language translation later on that for all resource strings and tools:ignore let Lint to isnore the missing translations of the resource string values.

Answer 6

To ignore this in a gradle build add this to the android section of your build file:

lintOptions {
   disable 'MissingTranslation'
}
