Lint How to ignore key is not translated in language errors

Question

I can t compile debug our Android app  because the localization files are not perfect yet   My IDE s validation tool Lint create errors saying      newCardsOrderVals is not translated in ar  bg  ca  cs   Compiling installing running with Ant works fine  but I would like to use my IDE to ease debugging   Is there a way to turn off this particular check  or ideally make it a warning rather than an error   I understand that before release we will really need to get localisation files right  but for the time being it is not a priority as the screens themselves are being modified very frequently

If you want to turn off the warnings about the specific strings  you can use the following   strings xml   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt resources gt            lt  --suppress MissingTranslation -- gt       lt string name  some string  gt ignore my translation lt  string gt            lt  resources gt    If you want to warn on specific strings instead of an error  you will need to build a custom Lint rule to adjust the severity status for a specific thing   http   tools android com tips lint-custom-rules

This will cause Lint to ignore the missing translation error for ALL strings in the file  yet other string resource files can be verified if needed    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt resources xmlns tools  http   schemas android com tools       tools ignore  MissingTranslation  gt

Another approach is to indicate the languages you intend to support and filter out the rest using the  resConfigs  option with Gradle    Check out this other answer for details  This is better  I think  because you don t have to completely ignore legitimate translation mistakes for languages you actually want to support
