Im currently localizing an android application and I would like to
know how does the localization resolving work if it would need to
"reverse".

So lets assume that res/values/strings.xml contains for example 20
strings.

and res/values-de/strings.xml contains only 15 strings.

What happens if system locale is set to German, and application tries
to request resource that is only in res/values/strings.xml ?

1) Miserably fails to NullPointerException ?
2) Resolves corresponding String from res/values/strings.xml ?
3) ??

Reason for asking is that, I get localization data to my application
from other department. Sometimes all values are not localized, so at
the moment they are written in English to all other localization files
so that there is no missing entries. But this consumes more space on
the device, so if the device is able to handle missing entries I would
rather not dump all that data to every strtings.xml.
