storing a .txt file in android

Issue

I have a .txt file in android that I want to read. I first stored it in a raw directory but now I want this file in many languages and android to read the good file according to the language of the device. Do you know where and how I should store this file?

Solution

Store your default text file — that you want to use if nothing else matches — in res/raw/ as you are now.

Store translations of the file to other languages in peer directories (e.g., Spanish in res/raw-es/).

This is how string resources work in res/values-.../ directories. You are simply applying the technique to text files in res/raw-.../ directories.
