What you need to do is create a separate language resource, strings.xml, which will contain all the Burmese translations for the texts you are displaying in the application. You should also have the English texts stored in strings.xml in a similar manner. Do not use hardcoded string anywhere for display.

Now, depending upon the user's language choice, you would display the strings using R.string.xxx.

NOTE : Make sure you have Eclipse file encoding as UTF-8 not as the default Cp1252.

  • I am not sure if I was able to put forward the idea properly. Let me know if you need further clarification. – Swayam Jan 27 '14 at 12:44
  • I know about the strings.xml but the question is that you can not paste or type burmese in that... it shows [][][][[] , which i think it means it dosen't support burmese font. – Sunny Jan 27 '14 at 12:46
  • Did you change the eclipse encoding to UTF-8 ? – Swayam Jan 27 '14 at 12:49
  • Is this problem only with Burmese or with other foreign languages as well? I mean, I have never worked with Burmese. – Swayam Jan 27 '14 at 12:51
  • I had other languages which works fine, but I am sure there will be other minority languages too other than burmese which have this problem. – Sunny Jan 27 '14 at 12:56
  • Yes, I can understand. Well, if you know the encoding format that supports Burmese, try checking if Eclipse has that or not. – Swayam Jan 27 '14 at 12:58
