1473022 - Add support to Pontoon for XML file format used in Android

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Pontoon, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Matjaz Horvat [:mathjazz]]

Mozilla apps for Android need to convert native strings.xml files used for storing translations to .po files in order to be localized in Pontoon. Let's fix that by adding support for strings.xml files to Pontoon.

See docs for more details on the file format:
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource

While strings.xml format supports three types of resources, we'll be only supporting simple strings (type String) as part of this bug. That also allows us to use compare-locales for parsing & serializing files and running checks.

Fix bug 1473022: Add support for XML file format used in Android (#1111)

This patch brings support for Android String resources (strings.xml),
complete with parser, serializer and checks.

For the first time we use compare-locales for working with l10n files,
and we'll see more of it in the future as we plan to move most of the
file formats to it.

In addition to that, the patch includes some cleanups and fixes:
- Unused properties have been removed
- Unused imports have been removed
- A typo in a method name has been fixed
