Lint (21 rc10) missing translation errors for English regions

[Alec Plumb]

I have an app where the default language us US english. I also have translations for several other languages, and for these the "is not translated" lint error is invaluable. However, I also have a very few strings that I need to change for en-rAU and en-rGB, but lint complains "x" is not translated in en-rAU, en-rGB 200 times. Is there any way to tell lint that the default language is "en", so that it doesn't complain about missing translations for other english regions?

According to the Localization API Guide I am organizing my resources correctly, so it would be nice if lint didn't mark these as errors.

We don't really have support to declare what the default language is at the moment. We should add this somewhere. I'll talk to Tor about it.

FYI, this will be addressed by https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/46834/ . In short, add tools:locale="en" to your <resources> element (but of course this will only be considered by the tools when you use the first Tools 22 Preview).
