Is strings.xml required in the values ​​folder?

Question

I want to have different language values ​​for folders (Ex: values-en, values-de, values-fr). Each folder will have a version of the strings.xml file. My question is: should I store the default strings.xml file in the values ​​folder, or will one of the specific strings.xml files be used if I delete the default file?

Answer 1

By default, strings.xml is used when values ​​are not in your specific strings.xml files in your language. This is a good place to store things like application names, etc., which may not change. In the future, if your application should be localized in a non-Latin script, then you can rewrite the Latin name of the script application with a localized non-Latin script in the language-specific strings.xml file.
