For Android Studio you can use either of the below ways to solve this issue

Method 1. Disable MissingTranslation check in build.gradle with

android {
     lintOptions {
        disable 'MissingTranslation'
    }
}

Method 2. Ignore the MissingTranslation in you resource strings file with

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  tools:ignore="MissingTranslation" >

  <!-- your strings here; no need now for the translatable attribute -->

</resources>

Method 3. Set translatable to false on specific string with

<string name="hello" translatable="false">hello</string>

Answer 5

With Android Studio, you can prevent lint from checking the MissingTranslation warning. Add the following to your app/build.gradle:

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

android {
    ...
    lintOptions {
       disable 'MissingTranslation'
    }
    ...
}
