I want to provide translations of my app in minimally 6 languages. I was horrified to discover that there's apparently no compression of the XML strings in res/values-xx. When I add another language (values- fr) with total file size of the XML files around 200K, it adds around 200K to the APK.
Did I miss a 'compress strings' flag somewhere ? Otherwise localization with the standard Android method is completely unfeasable (for my app at least). Different builds: I currently need 3 different packages builds for various reasons, I don't want to end up with 3 * 10 = 30.... Which leaves ? Put them in raw/ and write my own string-caching ? If I'm going that way may as well make them downloadable too... <sees a week disappear suddenly> Any other suggestions ?
