I have my array.xml to fill preferences value.
<string-array name="language">
<item>English</item>
<item>German</item>
<item>Russian</item>
<item>Italian</item>
</string-array>
To translate the items I put them in various string.xml file, how can I add the values from @string/english, @string/german etc.?
do this...
<string name="jan">January</string>
<string name="fev">February</string>
<string name="mar">March</string>
<string-array name="year">
<item name="jan">@string/jan</item>
<item name="fev">@string/fev</item>
<item name="mar">@string/mar</item>
</string-array>
Have you tried something like this:
res/values/array.xml
res/values-fr/array.xml
res/values-ja/array.xml
And so on...
If your issue is that you want to substitute the <item> value dynamically, you might have to do this in code. Check out this post: dynamic parameters in strings
You can just create string arrays in string.xml and other string.xml(ru) etc.
See below code snippet :-
string.xml
<!-- Language array -->
<string-array name="languages">
<item>English</item>
<item>Russian</item>
</string-array>
string.xml(ru)
<!-- Language array -->
<string-array name="languages">
<item>английский</item>
<item>русский</item>
</string-array>
