Generated file contains strings from default resource value

See original GitHub issue

This gradle plug-in works pretty well, but I noticed a problem when there are some missing template translations

For instance: With file values/strings.xml

<string name="template_string_1">This is an example for ${app_name}</string>
<string name="template_string_2">This is a second example for ${app_name}</string>

And French file values-fr/strings.xml with missing translation for template_string_2

<string name="template_string_1">C\'est un exemple pour ${app_name}</string>

Generated file values-fr/resolved.xml will contain

<string name="string_1">C\'est un exemple pour My wonderful app</string>
<string name="string_2">This is a second example for My wonderful app</string>

I do not expect string_2 to be include in the generated file for French, since it will be already included in the generated file values/resolved.xml.

This can lead to issue reported from lint (Typos, etc.).

Hi @bmarty - The new version 2.0.0 is now available, it is no longer needed to define your templates by adding the “template_” to your string names anymore, which means that Lint shouldn’t treat them as separate strings, thus avoiding the “translation” issue. Although, please bear in mind that a lot of things have changed in this new version 2.0.0, there’s a rebranding along with new dependencies parameters and plugin ID, so in order to add the new version into your project, I recommend you to check again the README’s instructions: https://github.com/LikeTheSalad/android-stem#21--changes-to-your-roots-buildgradle-file
