Translate Android strings.xml online — without breaking your app

Your res/values/strings.xml is where every language version of your app starts. Translating it by hand means keeping %1$s, %2$d and string-array blocks in sync across values-es/, values-fr/ and a dozen more folders — the kind of busywork that eats a release week. Generic AI tools see %1$d and happily translate it into broken text. LocaFile AI is an Android strings.xml translator that locks your format specifiers before the AI ever sees them.

Upload your strings.xml, pick a pass, and get back files ready to drop into res/values-<lang>/ — 28 languages, same keys, same structure, only the values translated. No login required, pay-per-pass from $19, engine-aware instead of a generic XML shortcut.

A string.xml translator that respects Android resource rules

LocaFile AI parses strings.xml the way Android actually reads it: <string>, <string-array> and <plurals> nodes are handled separately, CDATA sections and HTML entities are preserved byte-for-byte, and positional format specifiers (%1$s, %2$d) are locked so plural rules and String.format() calls keep working in every language.

The result is a file you can drop in and ship — not a translation you have to hand-repair. That is the point of an Android XML translation tool that understands the format it translates.

Android strings.xml translation — FAQ

How do I translate Android strings.xml online?

Upload your strings.xml, choose your languages, pay for a pass, and download the translated files. No login required — your download link is your recovery key. Pay-per-pass from $19, with no per-word or per-language fees.

Is there an Android string translation tool that localizes strings.xml automatically?

Yes — LocaFile AI is an engine-aware strings XML translator. It parses res/values/strings.xml the way Android does, locks format specifiers, translates the values, and returns files ready to drop into values-<lang>/. From $19 per pass, no login, no subscription.

Will translating strings.xml break my %1$s or %1$d format specifiers?

No. Positional format specifiers like %1$s, %2$d and %s are locked with regex token replacement before the AI sees your text, then restored byte-for-byte after translation. Your String.format() calls keep working in every language.

Does it handle string-array and plurals?

Yes. string-array and plurals blocks are parsed and translated as their own structures, so item order and plural quantities stay intact.

Where do I put the translated strings.xml files?

Each translated file drops straight into res/values-<lang-code>/strings.xml — for example values-es/ for Spanish. Keep the same filename and Android picks the files up automatically.

What about CDATA sections and HTML entities?

CDATA sections are preserved byte-for-byte and HTML entities are left alone, so rich text and encoded characters are not double-encoded or mangled.

How much does translating Android strings cost?

From $19 per pass, one-time, no subscription. You choose how many languages you need — the pass covers them. No per-word pricing, no login required.
