Adding new string item with translations.

[krystofair]

Hello, I'm curious.
I have read from issue i.e. #59 that translations is done by google AI, but I ask about process of generating it. I checked actions, but I didn't find anything.
I try Translation Editor in Android Studio, but when I clicked at "Add new Locale" for example I got new folder with my locale and strings.xml file with app-name in it (only, of course, but this is means nothing).
Another situation I try in adding new field to existing locale from Translation Editor, I got strings.xml file again, but in general here - in your code - there is no need for such file. 😄

So my question is, If I would like to contribution with adding some new string values (let say needed for some feature) how I should do it? In order to be convenient for you to generate rest of translation by google AI or what I should do to use it and generate translations for current existing locales?

I don't know how to use the "Translation Editor" in Android Studio, I'm not using it. I use a Golang script to translate.

When I want to add a new string, I'll only add it to the English strings.xml, then I run the golang script, it will automatically translate into other languages, those folders like "values-de" will be generated automatically.

The reason why there are 7 xml files is that the AI can't handle large text chunks, so I need to split the xml into small files, and I always add new strings to the last file, currently it's strings_7.xml, so it won't affect the previous files.

So if you want to add new strings, just add it in the English xml file, the last one, I'll do the rest, because it's a bit complex to use that golang script, it requires a Gemini API key, and Golang runtime environment.
