What Am i doing something wrong???

Answer 1

You don’t have an XML namespace defined for <xliff:g id="device_name">%1$s</xliff:g>

In reality you’re going to want to escape the < > around the xliff:g tags. The text inside the <string> tags is being handled as raw XML instead of as part of the string value.

Use this instead for the title_connected_to entry:

<string name="title_connected_to">connected to &lt;xliff:g id="device_name"&gt;%1$s&lt;/xliff:g&gt;<string>
