I was wonderering if there is a way to do simple string localization on Android so that the text can be given to a translation service without beeing too worried about them making mistakes in any code.

On iPhone there this is really easy with localizedStrings where I just write 

"string in lang1" = "string in lang2".

On Android I currently do it the “normal” way with string ressources

  <string name="alert_OK">string in lang1</string>

Then the resulted translation file would look like:

  <string name="alert_OK">string in lang2</string>

But it’s obvious that one hesitates to give a file in this format to any non-programmer.

Is there another alternative which is less errorprone?

Thanks

    There’s special software for localization Android resources: look here

    Application actually extracts resources from XML file and make them more comfortable for translators to work. Never tried, but guys who used reports that it’s neat.
