As you said "I tried with notepad ++ apps to edit strings.xml & seen black chinese words" did you used the unicode english, if you are just using some fonts than that wont work. only if you use unicode english than that will work, as you said its your Chinese apk, so your computer must also be set in chinese language too, if this is the case you will need unicode english to translate, else you will get same black chinese words.. i hope i have helped you..

you have understood something wrong, i dont mean that your pc must me in chinese.. i was just saying that your pc might be set to chinese. if your computer is set to chinese than you should install english unicode to use while translating the string.xml. have you ever tried to view the xml file in chrome or ie. if you are using unicode than the translated words will look fine else the words will look different.. unicode is a computing industry standard for the consistent encoding which can be read and shown in the way it is written..

First thing first: there is no easy one click app translation method, you have to translate strings one by one. i have attached one sample string.xml. check how is that working i have kept some untranslated parts too, but that not complete.

Second thing: have you tried to open the english translated string.xml in any browser, if the translated part are all ok( as it should be translated) than you have some other problem, if the translated things are not fine and you are getting black chinese word than read further below..

Third thing: its the case if the translated xml is not looking fine in browser. Go to Control Panel and then Region and Language, then go to keyboards and languages tab and add english language and make it default. than open your string.xml file and select one english font to write(better use the default notepad to edit), you can use Lucida Console font and there below also select script, use western as your script than make the translation one by one..

Fourth thing: Nothing!! I hope you have understood everything what i m trying to explain.

EDIT: Attachment file removed!!

If there is need to translare strings one by one then its very tough for me. Bcoz i have lots of words to translate. You mean i hv to decode & encode the apk file after translate.... i have androidsuit x86.exe application for this.

I dont know much about that application. why are you decoding the apk, don't you have the source code? you said its your own app.

If i decode then i will be able to get strings file from there... without decode how its possible to translate strings. My own app mean, i'm not developer as well as i have not created this app myself. I just meant that my particular apps which i wan to translate personally. How i can get the source code? What is the benefit of it?
