Facebook strings has no default translation

Question

I got this error today trying to run an app with Facebook SDK attached into it.

Warning:string 'com_facebook_smart_login_confirmation_continue_as_f1gender' has no default translation. Warning:string 'com_facebook_loginview_log_out_action_f1gender' has no default translation.

Error:Error converting bytecode to dex: Cause: java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception parsing classes Error:1 error; aborting Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. > com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Return code 1 for dex process Information:BUILD FAILED 

I'm trying to figure out why but I didn't try to ask for another string language than English. In the case of need, this is my app Gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'  android {     compileSdkVersion 25     buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"     defaultConfig {         applicationId ".chillout"         minSdkVersion 15         targetSdkVersion 25         versionCode 1         versionName "1.0"         testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"     }     buildTypes {         release {             minifyEnabled false             proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'         }     } }  dependencies {     compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])     androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {         exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'     })     compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.1'     compile 'com.android.support:design:25.3.1'     compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'     compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.0.0'     compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:10.0.0'     compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.0.0'     compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[4,5)'     compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.2.0'     compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:25.3.0'     compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'     testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' } apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' 

And this is my project Gradle.

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.  buildscript {     repositories {         jcenter()         mavenCentral()     }     dependencies {         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'         classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'          // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong         // in the individual module build.gradle files     } }  allprojects {     repositories {         jcenter {         }     } }  task clean(type: Delete) {     delete rootProject.buildDir } 

Thank you!

Roll back to the previous version, which is 4.23.0, seems to be working fine. I.e.

    compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.23.+' 

The latest release 4.24.0 seems to be problematic in many ways on both Android and iOS.
