#Android Localizationer

This is a Android Studio/ IntelliJ IDEA plugin to localize your Android app, translate your string resources automactically.

Then check the target languages.

After clicking OK, the string resources will be translated and created in the correct value folder.

##Feature

  • Filter the strings you don't wanna translate by adding NAL_ prefix to the string key, case sensitive. Change:
    <string name="flurry_id">FLURRY_ID</string>
    to
    <string name="NAL_flurry_id">FLURRY_ID</string>

  • Filter the strings you don't wanna translate by adding filter rule in plugin settings interface

  • Set client id or client secret for Microsoft Translator, in case of running out of quota.

  • Set Google API key to use Google Translation API, you need to do this, at the Public API access section of the Credentials page, create a new Browser key. Please NOTE that this is a paid service.
