Different app name for different languages (Android).

Question

Hi, do you know any way to change the application name according to region? Like when a person from America downloads the app, app's name on his device will be "Hello", but when a person from Germany downloads, it will be "Hallo" despite the same APK.

I don't want to post several APKs just to have localized names on the market. Thanks for your help.

For anyone with the same problem, I solved it by altering the "string.xml" file in the directory "plugins/Android/res/values-xx".

You just have to open it with a notepad application and type the following in:

 <string name="app_name">My Amazing App</string>

If it doesn't already exist, create a folder \Assets\Plugins\Android\res\values-xx for each additional language you want to support. Substitute "xx" with the two letter language ( not country! ) code.

Also make one without a language code ( \Assets\Plugins\Android\res\values ) which will be the default one, if your device doesn't match any of the languages you created.

In each of those folders, create an xml file called strings.xml containing this:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <resources>
     <string name="app_name">Hello World</string>
 </resources>
