Strange. I read just the opposite: that you should put strings in strings.xml so they'll get translated for you, instead of putting them in the Java code. The implication was that they were automatically translated, and I've worked based on the assumption that that was the case all along. Sigh. And given the negative views towards even the translation methods in the SDK, I guess Kostya's suggestion of "just leaving English alone" wins. Given that I'm hoping that this app, a camera app with an emphasis on real photography, not so much on the goofy effects, might be in the right category (already indicated by Romain Guy as one notably missing from the Market) to (again, HOPEFULLY) help get me out from under having to rely on Social Security Disability (cancer #1, blah blah), or at least pay off several thousand dollars worth of medical bills, I certainly don't have the resources to get it all translated correctly, then.
