<p>The application requires  three more <code>strings.xml</code> files, one each

for German, French, and Japanese. In this example, we will start by copying

<code>res/values/strings.xml</code> into new

<code>res/values-<em>&lt;qualifier&gt;</em>/strings.xml</code> files.</p>

<p>Under the <code>res/</code> directory, create the three new directories and

copy <code>res/values/strings.xml</code> into each of them. For example, using

Eclipse you could do it like this:</p>

<p>The application requires three more <code>strings.xml</code> files, one 

each for German, French, and Japanese. To create these resource files within 

Eclipse:</p>

<ol>

  <li>Right-click the <code>res/values/</code> folder and select Copy.</li>

  <li>Right-click on the <code>res/</code> folder and select Paste. Rename the

folder <code>values-de </code>and click OK.<br>

    <img src="../../../images/hello_l10n/copy_res_files.png" alt="res_file_copy" width="557"

height="181" style="margin:15px"></li>

  <li>Repeat steps 1 and 2 two more times, for <code>values-fr</code>, and

<code>values-ja</code>. Now the project includes these new files, all still

containing British English text strings: <br />

<li>Select <strong>File</strong> &gt; <strong>New</strong> &gt; <strong>Android 

XML File</strong> to open the New Android XML File wizard. You can also open 

the wizard by clicking its icon in the toolbar:<br />

  <li>Select L10N for the Project field, and type <code>strings.xml</code> into 

the File field. In the left-hand list, select Language, then click the right arrow.<br>

<p>A new file, <code>res/values-de/strings.xml</code>, now appears among the project 

files.</p></li>

<li>Repeat the steps twice more, for the language codes <code>fr</code> and

Now the project includes these new skeleton files: <br />

    <code>res/<strong>values-ja</strong>/strings.xml</code><br />
