I went to my resource file there are already translations available. How to fix this error. Please Help I am on a tight deadline. Thank You very much in Advance

Answer 1

Make sure that there is a <string ...>...</string> record in the file ' C:...\\res\values\strings.xml' file. You should be able to open this file using your favourite XML editor using the Windows Explorer or if you use by clicking on the strings.xml file which is not marked with a flag and has no parantheses right to its name. In the following screenshot the file is highlighted:

In this XML file you have to add the string records for the resources auth_client_needs_installation_title, auth_client_play_services_err_notification_msg, auth_client_needs_update_title, auth_client_requested_by_msg and auth_client_using_bad_version_title

Answer 2

If you are migrating a ADT project to the new Android Studio, as Lukas mentioned the strings.xml in your res folder needs the following additional strings defined.

<string name="auth_client_needs_enabling_title"></string>
<string name="auth_client_needs_installation_title"></string>
<string name="auth_client_needs_update_title"></string>
<string name="auth_client_play_services_err_notification_msg"></string>
<string name="auth_client_requested_by_msg"></string>
<string name="auth_client_using_bad_version_title"></string>

If you resource folder doesn't appear, right click the module and select "Open Module Settings" then find the module then select your resource folder (my was named res) and above in the "Mark as:" select Resources.
