Before you start localization

Things to understand before you start localizing your Android app.

Externalizing strings

Hard-coded strings such as interface items or error messages must be extracted from code in order to be translated. Externalized texts need to be gathered under strings.xml files for easy localization.

Arrange locales

Android software development kit provides full international support for all the locales. Create a new folder with the correct locale under your res directory, so your app can recognize translations once they completed.

Pseudolocalize

To reduce the doubts if every string from your code was externalized run Crowdin pseudolocalization that will replace all your text with fake language and let you check in app, which texts are left in English. It is also a good way to check if translation fits the space it belongs.
