How to creating/editing locales and translating docs

If you want to translate the app, there are two types of resources:

• The file app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml contains the elements of the user interface. It also contains an array <string-array name="activity_resources"> that describes the application documentation

• Application documentation consist of:

  • XML-files placed in the app/src/main/assets/doc_<locale> directory. These files are worksheet files in the micrMathematics format that contain detailed documentation. Each file represents a chapter of this documentation and can be opened from application navigation drawer.
  • If you activate the "Developer options" in the main menu, you can export all these chapters including all images in the LaTeX format. The exported files for all languages are stored in the doc directory. To build the documentation, see README.md in this directory.
  • The PDF files built from LaTeX source are currently attached to the release tag

• The array <string-array name="activity_resources"> in the app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml file contains the links to both XML-files in the corresponding language as well as to PDF files for the corresponding release.
