Error: "app_name" is not translated in af
I am new at Android coding and this forum. When I am trying to run the project to test it I am getting the following error:-
"app_name" is not translated in af, am, ar, be, bg, ca, cs, da, de, el, en-rGB, en-rIN, es, es-rUS, et, et-rEE, fa, fi, fr, fr-rCA, hi, hr, hu, hy-rAM, in, it, iw, ja, ka-rGE, km-rKH, ko, lo-rLA, lt, lv, mn-rMN, ms, ms-rMY, nb, nl, pl, pt, pt-rBR, pt-rPT, ro, ru, sk, sl, sr, sv, sw, th, tl, tr, uk, vi, zh-rCN, zh-rHK, zh-rTW, zu
in values/strings.xml
strings.xml:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="app_name">ThessMuseams</string> <string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string> <string name="menu_settings">Settings</string>
Solution 1:
In your ADT
go to window->Preferences->Android->Lint Error Checking
Find there MissingTranslation
and change its Severity
to Warning
.
Solution 2:
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'
}
...
}
Solution 3:
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>
