Adding string resources

Translation

Here is a documentation on adding string resources , which will get translated either by crowdin or by pontoon.

Steps are:

1. Inside /res/values you'll see a number of folders.

2. Add the string to the first file in those folders.

   • To choose correct directory you can refer here: https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/Translating-AnkiDroid#logic-of-the-separation-in-different-files

   • The basic format is demonstrated here : https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/Code-style#string-key-resources-must-be-all-lowercase-using-underscore-to-separate-words

     • For example, if you're adding to core, use the following file in the screenshot. path:src/main/res/values

     

3. You can then reference it as getString(R.string.id) in the Activity class you want.

4. It has an automated process to generate the other files.
