This is a common headache for all android users to create xml file for multi languages app. Today i am sharing a simple PHP script that will generate xml language file for android app.

To use this script you need to add all your keywords in a csv file like following image.

Now create one php file, android.php and add following code

<?php

$filename = "multi-language-android-en.csv";
$outputfileName = str_replace(".csv",".xml",$filename);
$file = fopen($filename, 'r');

$xml_file = $outputfileName;
if (file_exists($xml_file)) {
    unlink($xml_file);
}

//$xml_file = "language.xml";
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$doc->formatOutput = true;
$productsX = $doc->createElement("resources");
$doc->appendChild($productsX);

while (($line = fgetcsv($file)) !== FALSE) {
    //$line is an array of the csv elements
    //print_r($line);

    if (count($line) > 0) {

        $checktoskip = substr(trim($line[0]), 0, 2);

        if (trim($line[0]) == "" || $checktoskip == "//") {
            $lan_xml = $doc->createComment('Revised April 2008');
        }

        $lan_xml = $doc->createElement("string");

        if (isset($line[0])) {
            $lan_xml->setAttribute('name', trim($line[0]));
        }

        if (isset($line[1])) {
            $name = $doc->createTextNode(trim($line[1]));
        }

        $lan_xml->appendChild($name);

        $productsX->appendChild($lan_xml);
    }
}

file_put_contents($xml_file, $doc->saveXML(), FILE_APPEND);
echo "Language xml generated successfully";

fclose($file);

Note: In this php code $filename = "multi-language-android-en.csv" is your csv file name.

Once you execute this code, it will create xml file like following image.
