# beginning of the build process, like this:
#
# ${PROJECT_DIR}/LocalizeStringsFromAndroid.rb ${PROJECT_NAME}

# project.
# By default, copy the res/values* dir tree from your Android project into
# your iOS project, and rename the res dir to android_res.
# Create the localizations in Xcode for your iOS project that you want this
# script to translate from the Android files.
