Description
Hi @NathanWalker,
There is little issue with the localize plugin, the default language not generated in his own folder because of this rule since it is the default language the hook generate the strings for res/values/strings.xml only, I think it should generate also res/values-en/strings.xml.
I suggest this :
run() {
this.dataProvider.getLanguages().forEach((languageI18nEntries, language) => {
// ADD THIS
if(language === this.dataProvider.getDefaultLanguage()) {
this.createLanguageResourcesFiles(language, false, languageI18nEntries);
}
this.createLanguageResourcesFiles(language, language === this.dataProvider.getDefaultLanguage(), languageI18nEntries);
});
if (fs.existsSync(this.appResourcesDirectoryPath) && fs.statSync(this.appResourcesDirectoryPath).isDirectory()) {
this.cleanObsoleteResourcesFiles(this.appResourcesDirectoryPath, this.dataProvider.getLanguages());
}
return this;
}

Research direction
Start in packages/localize/hooks/converter.ts at the rule around line 105 and the run() entry point shown in the issue. Trace how the default language is passed to createLanguageResourcesFiles and verify the generated Android resources. Done means the default language produces both res/values/strings.xml and its language-specific res/values-en/strings.xml without breaking cleanup.
