Android Bundle source language export path

How to use Crowdin? Tips&Tricks

Hi team,

I am having trouble achiving proper export pattern for an Android bundle.

Source language is: English. The current setup looks like below:

This is good however Android dev requires that the default values dir is named just “values“ and not “values-en“.

The current “Source language export pattern (optional)“ is: resources/src/main/res/values-%two_letters_code%/strings.xml

However if I try doing something like:
resources/src/main/res/values/strings.xml

the result is as below:

My expected result which I can’t reach is that the source language export strings.xml are put inside res/values/strings.xml while the translations languages are in “res/values-LANG/strings.xml“ (which is correct right now)

Thanks

Hi @MDB

you cannot have a single pattern that treats the source language as a static folder (values) and the translations as dynamic folders (values-%two_letters_code%). The source language export pattern must contain a placeholder that specifies the language to maintain the integrity of the bundle.

That’s too bad but thanks for clarification. It’s just a bit of annoyance because after downloading Android bundle I need to manually copy strings.xml from values-en to proper default values dir.

Hi, as a workaround, one option could be to automate that copy/rename step in your build or integration script so it happens automatically after pulling the bundle, but there is unfortunately no built-in Crowdin setting that would remove the -en from the source folder name.

Yep sure workarounds will help solve this no worries. Just wanted to make sure I can’t do it at the source level (Crowdin)
