name="string" is translated here but not found in the default locale

Question

I am declaring a string in the strings.xml and I am getting this error

here is my code:

<string name="date_picker_title">Hire Date</string>
<string name="new_employee">New Employee</string>
<string name="show_subtitle">Show Subtitle</string>
<string name="hide_subtitle">Hide Subtitle</string>
<string name="subtitle_format">%1$s crimes</string>
<string name="choose_menu">Choose a Menu Option</string>

I think you have defined it string.xml(v21) it is not in the default xml ..define the tags in string.xml insted of string.xml(v21) — Saurabh sharma, Apr 05 '18 at 10:59
the strings above declared are in the res/values/strings.xml — ZIA ANSARI, Apr 05 '18 at 11:00
Comment all strings which are showing error, and write strings by your self again. If strings were copied from somwhere, this could happen. — Danger, Apr 05 '18 at 11:10

Here in my case this just helped me:

Select the strings that are causing error.
Cut them.
Paste them again!

If it doesn't work for you, try adding the same strings to strings.xml(v21) file.
This worked perfectly for me.

This is really fast solution, rather then 'Invalidate cache/restart' or 'clean/restart'! – userAbhi Jul 08 '19 at 06:13
Agreed, invalidate cache/restart/clean is takes time, thanks for providing this approach – mochadwi Mar 27 '20 at 21:06

Try this. It solved the error in my case.

Go to File -> Invalidate caches and restart . In Android Studio Menu Bar

2021 but it's still here... *File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart ->* **Just restart** also works fine and faster than **Invalidate and Restart**. – Daniil Pavlenko Jul 23 '21 at 11:37

Besides all the answers here, make sure your default strings.xml doesn't have a tools:locale attribute. Apparently, the default locale is assumed to be English always.
