The example will evolve as more automation becomes available.
The file strings.xml
is the source of truth. This file lists all externalized strings and gives them name
s. The strings will be referenced in the source code using constants which are generated based on name
.
You may notice that strings.xml
has English source text at the moment. This is not required: you can have text in any language, including pure gibberish in there.
The translated strings are stored in files strings_<locale_id>.xml
. For example, it is expected that the file strings_fr.xml
contains text which is a French equivalent of what is written in strings.xml
. Since English is not a special language, strings_en.xml
must also exist if you want your program to speak English.

filePlease refer to the BUILD.gn
file for a minimal example of how to compile a C++ program that uses generated strings constants.
Before you build:
fx set
command has --with=//src/intl/example
.fx serve
is running.fx build src/intl/example
Before you test:
fx serve
is running.fx test src/intl/example
Prerequisite. You will need to have fx serve
running.
fx shell run \ fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/src-intl-example#meta/src-intl-example.cmx
