That might work ... but it would certainly be, ummm, interesting....
The largest (so far) of the files is 8 kB of plain text. That is one
GIGANTIC string. I've always kept them as text files for ease of
maintaining them. But I suppose I could, when they're completely
finished, tack them on at the very end of strings.xml.....

I'd also basically assumed that using a single string for multiple
paragraphs, etc., would probably cause problems. In other words, this:
--------------------------- CUT HERE ---------------------------
<string name="usage">
This is a paragraph...about, say, 5 to 10 lines long.
This is another paragraph, also 5--10 lines long.
This is yet another paragraph, also 5--10 lines long.
This is yet another paragraph, also 5--10 lines long.
: :
: etc..... :
: :
This is yet another paragraph, also 5--10 lines long.
This is yet another paragraph, also 5--10 lines long.
This is yet another paragraph, also 5--10 lines long.
This is the last paragraph, ending at around 8 kB total.
</string>
--------------------------- CUT HERE ---------------------------
I could replace blank lines between paragraphs with \n, but there's
still the issue of the size of the string. Or is there?

If it would work, it'd certainly be a nice alternative to doing
all of those translations....
