Are string arrays and plurals supported?

Yes. A becomes a JSON array and a block becomes an object keyed by quantity (one, other, few…).

How are apostrophes handled?

Android requires apostrophes to be escaped as \' or the whole value to be wrapped in double quotes. The converter decodes both on input and re-escapes on output.

Do format specifiers survive?

Yes — %1$s, %d and similar placeholders are treated as plain text and copied through untouched.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using standard web APIs, so your input never leaves your device and nothing is logged or stored on our servers.

Does it work offline and on mobile?

Yes. Once the page has loaded it keeps working without a network connection, and the layout is responsive so it stays usable on phones and tablets.
