Android Studio – Translating a variable in Android

Im having trouble doing a translation in my project:

So I have this enum class:

enum class Theme(
    val theme: ThemeL,
    val name: String,
    @DrawableRes val image: Int? = null,
){
THEME_1(
        theme = ThemeL.Theme1,
        humanName = "theme1 description",
        image = R.drawable.theme1
    ),
    THEME_2(
        theme = ThemeL.Theme2,
        humanName = "theme2 des",
        image = R.drawable.theme1
    ),
}

My question is, I want that "humanName" can be translated to another languages,
in order to do that I created another strings.xml and defined the location I wanted in android studio, however I cant define here what should I put in "humaname = …" to achieve so.

my original strings.xml

  <string name="theme1">theme one</string>
    <string name="theme2">theme two</string>

and the one to be translated in portuguese

<string name="theme1">tema um</string>
    <string name="theme2">tema dois</string>

    To correctly translate strings into other languages, you need to create a folder for each language you wish to translate to in RES. For example, name the folder "values-pt". Within this folder, create an XML file called "strings" and place the strings you want to translate inside.

    Instead of using String, you can use String id:

    enum class Theme(
    val theme: ThemeL,
    @StringRes val humanName: Int,
    @DrawableRes val image: Int? = null,
){
THEME_1(
        theme = ThemeL.Theme1,
        humanName =  R.string.theme1,
        image = R.drawable.theme1
    ),
    THEME_2(
        theme = ThemeL.Theme2,
        humanName =  R.string.theme1,
        image = R.drawable.theme1
    ),
}

    Then in composable function use String id:

    @Composable
fun ThemeHuman(theme: Theme) {

  val humanName = stringResource(id = theme.humanName)

}
