In my Android app I’am going to implement my strings with internationalization. I have a problem with the grammar and the way sentences build in different languages.
For example:
“5 minutes ago” – English
“vor 5 Minuten” – German
Can I do something like the following in strings.xml?
<string name="timeFormat">{0} minutes ago</string>
And then some magic like
getString(R.id.timeFormat, dynamicTimeValue)
This behaviour would solve the other problem with different word orders as well.
