Answer 1

In your ADT go to window->Preferences->Android->Lint Error Checking

Find there MissingTranslation and change its Severity to Warning.

Answer 2

With Android Studio, you can prevent lint from checking the MissingTranslation warning. Add the following to your app/build.gradle:

To ignore this in a gradle build add this to the android section of your build file:

android {
    ...
    lintOptions {
       disable 'MissingTranslation'
    }
    ...
}

Answer 3

For Android Studio you can use either of the below ways to solve this issue

Method 1. Disable MissingTranslation check in build.gradle with

android {
     lintOptions {
        disable 'MissingTranslation'
    }
}

Method 2. Ignore the MissingTranslation in you resource strings file with

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  tools:ignore="MissingTranslation" >

  <!-- your strings here; no need now for the translatable attribute -->

</resources>

Method 3. Set translatable to false on specific string with

<string name="hello" translatable="false">hello</string>

Answer 4

You should disable the : "Run full error check when exporting app and abort if fatal errors are found".

you can disable it from option in :

"Window" > "Preferences" > "Android" > "Lint Error Checking"

You should be able to disable

"Run full error check when exporting app and abort if fatal errors are found".

Answer 5

Try adding translatable="[true/false]".

<string name="app_name" translatable="false">ThessMuseams</string>

Answer 6

The error is thrown by a check called lint which checks every dependency and guesses you want your app to be translated into all language the libraries you use are translated, in case of maps basically everyone. There is some setting for lint in the Eclipse preferences(Missing Translation). You could completely turn lint off or configure it so it ignores the translation warnings.

Answer 7

Just click the Checkbox dropdown icon near AVD Manager . Then Select Clear Lint Warnings. That will fix it.
