How to prevent options Menu "More" Button from getting localized on android?

Question

The options menu's "More" button gets localized automatically, while the rest of the app isn't localized. The "More" button changes to "Mas" because the I picked "espanol" as my language. How do I prevent the "More" button from getting localized?

Make the more button manually in your menu like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
<item android:id="@+id/menu_previous"
    android:title="Previous"
    android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_media_rew" />
<item android:id="@+id/menu_todays"
    android:title="Todays" 
    android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_day" />
<item android:id="@+id/menu_next"
    android:title="Next" 
    android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_media_ff" />    

    <item android:id="@+id/menu_more"
    android:title="More" 
    android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_more">
    <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
            <item android:id="@+id/menu_achievements"
                android:title="Achievements" />
            <item android:id="@+id/menu_about"
                android:title="About" />        
            <item android:id="@+id/menu_date_picker"
                android:title="Goto Date" />                  
                <item android:id="@+id/menu_instructions"
                android:title="Instructions" />   
            <item android:id="@+id/menu_moreapps"
                android:title="More apps" />                                  
            <item android:id="@+id/menu_twitter"
                android:title="Tweet your score" />
            <item android:id="@+id/menu_visitwebsite"
                android:title="Visit Stealthcopter.com" /> 
    </menu>
