When working on a localized Android application, I found it a bit annoying that whenever I change a value in one language version of the strings.xml, I have to remember to change it also in the other versions.
Is there any way how to open multiple (or at least two of them) string.xml files in one window that would display the language versions of all the messages side by side, in a similar way to a resource bundle editor?
As a followup to the others, yes there is a multi-language strings.xml editor in MOTODEV Studio.
Install as a set of plugins into Eclipse by visiting the Eclipse Marketplace (Help->Eclipse Marketplace) or by creating a new update site (Help->Install New Software) and using https://studio-android.motodevupdate.com/android/4.0/basic as the update site address.
If it doesn’t open automatically the first time, right click on strings.xml and choose “Open With->Other” and find “Localization Files Editor”. After that it should open this editor every time.
Here’s a YouTube video showing how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Asv-IoH9M0
