Hey, please attach your strings.txt file. Thanks

[[applevel]]     [name]         tags = ios,android         en-US = MG1         hi-IN = MG1         mr-IN = MG1         gu-IN = MG1         kn-IN = MG1         pa-IN = MG1         ta-IN = MG1         te-IN = MG1

Looks good.. 🤔 Does converting it "manually" on the command line work? I mean when you invoke twine yourself in a terminal?

[kirtigiripunje]

No i did not try but how to do that please let me know the syntax for same to try using terminal and create different language string.xml files. Is any way to implement simply in Android application. Previously it was work fine in Mac machine then I changed to windows machine, that time not work. now I am once again chack same project in mac machine now its not work

I wonder if there is an issue with text encoding or line endings. Can you try with a new file you create on your Mac itself? Just a basic one like the one you pasted above.

Please check this below 2 command I was use to generate string file

String script = "if hash twine 2>/dev/null; then twine generate-localization-file ../../mg/localization_all/strings1.txt ./src/main/res/values/strings.xml --lang {$defaultLanguage} --format android --tags android; fi"

String script = 'if hash twine 2>/dev/null; then twine generate-all-localization-files ../../mg/localization_all/strings1.txt ./src/main/res/ -r --format android --tags android; fi'

Error:

@kirtigiripunje I am not really familiar with how you are integrating twine with your Android build tasks. Twine is at its heart a command line tool and how you integrate it in build scripts is left as an exercise for the user. However, if a particular command is giving you trouble I am more than happy to help you with it but it would really help if you gave us the exact twine command you are running along with a replica of your strings.txt file so that we can understand what is going on.

[kirtigiripunje]

please check above 2 command

I am unable to reproduce using your strings.txt file:

~/tmp $ bundle exec twine --version
Twine version 1.1
~/tmp $ bundle exec twine generate-all-localization-files strings.txt res/ -r --format android --tags android
~/tmp $ cat res/values-gu-rIN/strings.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Android Strings File -->
<!-- Generated by Twine 1.1 -->
<!-- Language: gu-IN -->
<resources>
    <!-- SECTION: applevel -->
    <string name="name">MG1</string>
</resources>

Oh, the strings1.txt file you uploaded above does not contain any tags on its single string. So selecting --tags android would cause no strings to be written.
