If you want to translate for multiple languages i will tell you that the best way to do it is not using the string.xml file from android.

What i did is. Inside the folder Assets in the android project i create a folder with the name String -> Inside this folder i create the string i will use in my app.

Then to load the string i will use I18NBundle. For example:

I18NBundle languageStrings = I18NBundle.createBundle(Gdx.files.internal("strings/strings"), locale);
String hello = languageString.get("hello");

This will work for Desktop, Android, iOS and GWT. So it better option than using the android res folder.
