Issue details

The plugin used to work great, but lately the option to translate strings.xml no longer shows up in the context menu:

I've updated AS to the latest version & uninstalled and re-installed the plugin :(

[gohj99]

I'm in the same situation

[Hansaueing]

same issue

[maxkeppeler]

Same now, guess it wasn't updated for a while :(

[DikenGurzu]

I had to download Jellyfish | 2023.3.1 RC 2.. and downgrade AGP to compatible version.

[androidacy-user]

bump. last couple stable versions it no longer works on.

[JOsacky]

I'm also having this issue, anyone have good alternatives?

[JOsacky]

I found a good workaround for this issue: Older versions of android studio still work with this plugin

The one I'm using is Android Studio Ladybug Feature Drop | 2024.2.2 Patch 2 February 26, 2025 Here is a link to download it: https://developer.android.com/studio/archive

I will keep both versions of android studio on my computer so that I can open the older one in order to use this plugin.

Used to work fine, but now it doesn't display. For me it's stop, looking for alternative.

[ryancstack]

the plugin requires a display name for the new versions of Android Studio. It does not supply one so it crashes when trying to add it to the IDE

[fionues]

yes same, i get this crash error message:
