What languages are Android resource strings translated in?

Issue

If I am using a String such as android.R.string.yes, will all devices have this String in the device's selected language? In other words, will this string be yes in Spanish on a Spanish phone, Chinese on a Chinese phone, etc? How you figured this out or links are appreciated!

I would attempt to check on my own but I have no language skills outside of English and don't want to get lost trying to navigate back to revert the language.

Solution

Spanish on a Spanish phone, Chinese on a Chinese phone

Yes. All of the Android String resources are translated into many languages, and it will show in whatever language the phone is set to.

The only reason for using them (vs your own values) is to save yourself the trouble of translating your own "yes/no" values should you decide to support another language.
