Answer 1

In your ADT go to window->Preferences->Android->Lint Error Checking

Find there MissingTranslation and change its Severity to Warning.

Answer 2

With Android Studio, you can prevent lint from checking the MissingTranslation warning. Add the following to your app/build.gradle:

To ignore this in a gradle build add this to the android section of your build file:

android {     ...     lintOptions {        disable 'MissingTranslation'     }     ... } 

Answer 3

For Android Studio you can use either of the below ways to solve this issue

Method 1. Disable MissingTranslation check in build.gradle with

android {
     lintOptions {
        disable 'MissingTranslation'
    }
}

Method 2. Ignore the MissingTranslation in you resource strings file with

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  tools:ignore="MissingTranslation" >

  <!-- your strings here; no need now for the translatable attribute -->

</resources>

Method 3. Set translatable to false on specific string with

<string name="hello" translatable="false">hello</string>

Answer 4

You should disable the : "Run full error check when exporting app and abort if fatal errors are found".

you can disable it from option in :

"Window" > "Preferences" > "Android" > "Lint Error Checking"

You should be able to disable

"Run full error check when exporting app and abort if fatal errors are found".
