And from a related SO post someone links this blog post: http://blog.elsdoerfer.name/2010/04/08/android2po-managing-android-translations/ The guess seems to be some internal tool used to manage translations. *shrug* On Tuesday, November 24, 2009 12:47:06 AM UTC-8, Ken wrote: > > Hello, > > There are msgid in localized strings.xml.
