What I understand from this page is that you can localize your OWN app. How should one participate in translating of an internal app (ie. input method "Android keybord")? Also, would it be difficult to develop/install a new locale? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I was wondering if someone could document the R.plurals localization construct. From what I can gather it works similar to other resources however a bit different, Only %1$d more things left ... looked up as: int quantity = 4; context.getString(R.string.some_string, quantity); To do a correct localized entry, it would become: Only 1 more thing left Only a couple more things left Congrats you have nothing left Only %1$d more things left Apparently there are only a few things left Apparently there are many things left and looked up as: int quantity = 4; context.getResources().getQuantityString(R.plurals.some_string, quantity, quantity); The Many and Few don't seem to have clear implementations. Could you elaborate on this construct? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Hi all, i made an app in Traditional Chinese. and now i want to make it in Simplified Chinese too. so i guess i should use the locale zh-TW for traditional chinese and zh-CN for simplified chinese. but for the strings.xml, it only allows values-zh but NOT for values- zh-rTW and values-zh-rCN. so how could i seperate traditional chinese and simplified chinese?

Guys, Im using a HTC Hero and downloaded "MoreLocale" from Market. It seems to change the locale on my Hero with no problems. seems to work fine with the L10nDemo app although it exposes a few flaws. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I have localized strings at res/values-de/strings.xml and res/values- es/strings.xml . When I test different locales in the Simulator, the localized strings show up correctly. However, when I upload the app to the Market, it says 'Localized to: unknown'. Has anybody else had the same problem and know a fix or workaround?

I have two questions about localization. First, can I control which strings should to be localized and which shouldn't be? I asked this question since it complains when some strings are not set to be localized in class TextView and Button (at least I noticed). I don't believe I have to localize strings like '1024' or '80x25'. Why I cannot set them to be non-localized? The second question is how to sync the original strings.xml with all localized strings.xml? That is, if the original strings.xml is updated, how to update all the localized strings.xml? (yes, I'm asking a tool like Gettext's msgmerge ) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

What's the best way to refer to Android resource IDs from a SQLite database? For instance if I have a "category" table with cols id, and category_name. Right now I store a default English name in category_name, but I'd also like to be able to localize that when I display it in the UI. The one approach I've considered is to use the category_name col to store a string representation of the Android resource name (e.g. category_name_fine_dining), then use getResources().getIdentifier() with this column value to get the resource ID, which I can then use to lookup the localized string. The API doc warns about the performance of this method though, so presumably the lookup would need to be cached. Are there better ways of handling this? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I want test my app in different language. Currently I am able to change the language of the emulator 1.5 and my app starts showing strings for that language but when i type in the edit box it still shows english. Do I have to change some code so that my edit box n everything else supports multiple language? Or do i have to tweak the emulator so that it starts typing in language other than enlish? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
