Android: Get missing translations for strings-resources

Question

In Android, you can specify the texts in the default locale in res/values/strings.xml. Additional translations can be added for new languages in res/value

Answer 1

There is none which I am aware, I am favouriting the question. :) However as a best practice, I first complete the default strings.xml and translate it in the very end. I also add a small marker comment to specify end of translation and any new strings are added below that. This helps me keep track of ones which are not translated.

-- UPDATE --

With latest ADT tool for eclipse you can install Lint which takes care of all the issues regarding duplicates and a lot more with its exhaustive set of warnings.

Answer 2

You could also use Android lint (easy access from Eclipse). Right click your project -> Android Tools -> Run Lint. This will give you a list of all missing translations, and also some other common errors.

It will also show you duplicate resources and strings not available in the default translation.

Answer 3

On Android Studio, Analyze > Run Inspection By Name, Type following and execute inspections for Custom scope Project Production Files.

• Extra translation
• Incomplete translation

Answer 4

I suggest Amanuens that let you easily identify untranslated strings and strings that not match in master and translated files. It can, optionally, be configured to automatically keep translation files synchronized with the repository. You can also give your translators access to the service and they can find an easy to use web editor to translate your application.
