Always use [string resources](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource.html) instead of literal strings. This ensures wording consistency across the project and also enables full translation of the app. Only make changes to the base `res/values/strings.xml` English file and not to the other language files. The translated files are generated from [Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/opendatakit/odk-collect/) where translations can be submitted by the community. Names of software packages or other untranslatable strings should be placed in `res/values/untranslated.xml`.
