Error in res values string "Locale it is missing translations for"

Question

In my project I am getting an error that can't allow me to compiling. It is reported, as an example: Description Resource Path Location Type Locale it is missing translations for: foo, htmlsource1, htmlsource_old values-it /Android_coll/res line 1 Android Lint Problem

" foo, htmlsource1, htmlsource_old " are old string that now are not any more in the in res->values-it folder. To be more specific they are no longer present in the whole project

I've tried:

• close and open the project.

• close and open Eclipse (indingo)

• clean the project (project-> clean)

• copy the file string.xml from the folder values and copy it to the folder values-it

but i still have the same error message.

thanks marco

Answer 1

I had this same problem when I updated to the 4.0 SDK. The problem was with Android Lint. If you go to project properties->Android->Lint Error Checking and change the severity of "Missing Translation" to be something other than Error, you should be able to build now.
