Note
There is no specific wizard to create .po files. To create a .po file, go to New > Other > General > File and save the file with the extension .po in the res/po directory. A .po file name usually has the form <ll>_<CC>.po. Here <ll> stands for an ISO 639 2-letter language code, and <CC> stands for an ISO 3166 2-letter country code. For example, for German in Germany, the file name is de_DE.po.
