Android not using/finding my Hebrew localization.

android localization hebrew
isep picture isep · Dec 6, 2011 · Viewed 7.2k times · Source

I'm working to localize my app for a number of language. Spanish is working great but Hebrew isn't showing up.

What confuses me is if I put the contents of my Hebrew strings folder in the Spanish folder(values-es) it works great. Spanish in my Hebrew folder(values-he) does not work though...

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hebrew is locale like 'iw', and also 'he'.

As the @klausw mentioned in his answer:

you better store duplicate copies in both values-iw/ and values-he/ just to make sure it works in all devices.
