<font style="" face="Verdana">Hi<br><br>At the moment, i use WinMerge to keep track of updated strings. I compare the old and new version of the source strings, and i edit the translated ones accordingly. It's a little complicated, but it does the job. That way, i can easily detect changes in existing strings, too!<br><br>Regards<br><br>Thomas<br id="FontBreak"></font><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:17:55 +0200<br>> From: christoph.miebach@web.de<br>> To: translators@videolan.org<br>> Subject: Re: [Translators] VLC for Android - how to keep strings.xml in sync?<br>> <br>> Hello!<br>> <br>> On 26.08.2012 20:42, mihkel wrote:<br>> > My question is how is /res/values-*/strings.xml kept in sync with<br>> > /res/values/strings.xml?
