"Mobile Networks", "Auto Sync", "Gps", "Auto-rotate screen",
"Vibrate on touch", "Airplane mode", "Brightness", "Sleep",

You can define string array in strings.xml, as the documentation says like: 

<resources>
    ...
    <string-array name="numbers">
        <item>1</item>
        <item>2</item>
        <item>3</item>
        <item>4</item>
        <item>5</item>
        <item>6</item>
        <item>7</item>
        <item>8</item>
        <item>9</item>
        <item>10</item>
    </string-array>
    ...
</resources>

Than you can get it from code like :

String [] fiilliste = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.numbers);

Don't forget to define your array in every strigns.xml in each of your values-XX folder which you want to support.

I think the best approach is to use R.string.whateveryouwant as Integer array, something like this:

Integer[] columns = { R.string.bluetooth, R.string.wifi, .... }

And when you display the text get the value from the language xml file, given the Integer key.
