Hi,
I want to report and issue:

Input:
"ABOUT..." = "About...";

Output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  <string name="ABOUT___">"About..."</string>
</resources>

As you can see the . was converted in _
Bye

Thank you for the script! It appears to be correct and functional. This Python script is a helpful tool for developers who are converting from iOS to Android and need to migrate their localization strings. By automating the conversion process, this script saves developers time and reduces the risk of human error. The script is easy to use and well-documented, making it a valuable resource for developers who are new to Android development and may not be familiar with Android-specific syntax.
