Lint: How to ignore "<key> is not translated in <language>" errors?

eclipse android-studio localization android-resources android-lint

I can't compile/debug our Android app, because the localization files are not perfect yet.

My IDE's validation tool Lint create errors saying:

newCardsOrderVals is not translated in ar, bg, ca, cs

Compiling/installing/running with Ant works fine, but I would like to use my IDE to ease debugging.

Is there a way to turn off this particular check, or ideally make it a warning rather than an error?

I understand that before release we will really need to get localisation files right, but for the time being it is not a priority as the screens themselves are being modified very frequently.

Android Studio:

  • "File" > "Settings" and type "MissingTranslation" into the search box

Eclipse:

  • Windows/Linux: In "Window" > "Preferences" > "Android" > "Lint Error Checking"
  • Mac: "Eclipse" > "Preferences" > "Android" > "Lint Error Checking"

Find the MissingTranslation line, and set it to Warning as seen below:

Missing translations, is not translated in
