Missing attribute in string-array Tag

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,
Can any one please confirm if this is a issue on the latest apk tool

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ./apktool d ApkTool_Testapp.apk
2. ./apktool b ApkTool_Testapp -o test.apk
3.  ApkTool_Testapp\res\values\arrays.xml does not have translatable="false" 
attribute

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected arrays.xml -> <string-array name="problem" translatable="false">
Output arrays.xml ->  <string-array name="problem"> 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Os: Linux
Installed: https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
used: apktool_2.0.0rc1.jar

Thank you :)

I was under the impression that translatable="false" was stripped by AAPT 
during compile, so it wouldn't even be available to find during decode.

I believe this still stands. I will double check.

Thanks for the information,

The content of the apk is something like this

<string-array name="problem" translatable="false">
<item>category=temp%temp%arbit</item>
</string-array>

if i try to rebuild the apk after decoding this error comes up:

ApkTool_Testapp/res/values/arrays.xml:4: 
error: Multiple substitutions specified in non-positional format; did you mean 
to add the formatted="false" attribute?

after manually adding translatable="false" attribute in xml file,  i am able to 
rebuild the apk from the decoded apk.

That error has nothing to do with translatable. Its because the % sign isn't 
escaped which means it thinks its a variable substitution instead of a literal 
% sign.

formatted="false" would fix this as well. Or double %%.

I understand,

such apks cannot be recompiled without manually modifying the xml files,
problem is, i cannot modify the xmls manually.

would you recommend that i modify my local apktool to add % in this usecase.

Thanks for your help :)

I believe that fixes it. Passed it off to someone to double check. Will merge 
into mainline tomorrow if all checks out.
