Android XML support

[Martysh12]

Support Android's strings.xml translation format.

How it works

The values directory (which is usually located at app/src/main/res, although not always) contains a strings.xml file, which contains a list of strings and their base translations:

<resources>
    <string name="app_name">My App</string>
    <string name="some_string">Some String</string>
    <string name="lorem">Lorem Ipsum</string>
</resources>

Additionally in the res directory, there may be other values directories with language qualifiers (appended after values with a dash, for example values-iw for Hebrew values). This directory may also contain a strings.xml file:

<resources>
    <string name="app_name">האפליקציה שלי</string>
    <string name="some_string">מחרוזת כלשהי</string>
    <string name="lorem">לוח לשון</string>
</resources>

Additional resources

I can't possibly explain how all of Android's resource system works without turning this into an essay, so I'll link these helpful pages:

• App resource system - how Android sees each directory: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources
• String resources - interpolation, plurals, etc.: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource
