 When you export a the localized strings.xml files from Transifex,
 untranslated strings are included as empty string resources.

 As an example, in the default english strings you might have:

 <string name="menu_start">Start Tor</string>

 and then in another language, say Spanish, if that string is not
 translated in the transifex UI, you would have:

 <string name="menu_start"></string>

 By exporting an empty string resource, Android will use that empty string
 in the user interface, instead of gracefully degrading to the default
 english value.

 This currently means we can only include translations from Transifex that
 are 100% complete, which is not what we have done in the past via pootle.
