I am trying to support multilingual android Application. Here, the problem is how to avoid creation of strings.xml file for every language on users particular language selection.
For example, if we have a word like "Father" in english , how to translate this word automatically into some other language like Hindi(पिता)(On Users selection)?

Include all words you're going to use in the app in all xml files to start. Unless you want to develop an AI app that can translate between languages without having example words - kind of a "universal translator" app, like in Star Trek. (Since they haven't been able to even figure out an algorithm to do that - even with supercomputers - I don't think you'd b able to, but you can try. I suggest that you work it out in your mind before doing anything on paper on in a computer, though. If you have no idea how to do it, writing or typing anything is just a waste of time. Work out an algorithm [a way to do it] first.)

Otherwise, xml files are the only way. (Unless you want to use database files, text files, etc. - but xml files make it easier.)
