I18N on Garmin Faces

Hi everybody,

I am really frustrated about translating my watch face app into different languages. I have moved all the strings to the resources/strings.xml files, and the Spanish translation to resources-spa/strings.xml

I set the only physical device I have in Spanish and the date is dynamically calculated correctly since I get it from monkey c SDK, but the other strings are always in the default language.

I cannot test this in the simulator to check if there is an issue with my device (FR 245 Music).

Am I missing something? Sorry if this is an obvious issue but I couldnt find anything in the docs, forum or Google.

Help here mates!

Best,

Have you looked at the Strings sample in the SDK? Are you sure you added Spanish to your supported languages? Here's that sample running in the sim, with Settings>Language set to Spanish.

Oh man... thank you so much. That was the issue, I didn't set Spanish as supported message in the Manifest. If no language is set you cannot see the Language selector in the settings either. It is a bit misleading for me because I didn't find any reference to this requirement in any documentation I read. Anyway it should obvious since it is in the main file of the app. My bad!

Thanks Jim. You always so resolutive.
