As Google-Map App in our phone shows the different languages as per region with English.
I want to implement same in my app also.
But i can not do this in android.
can you please help me to get out of it.
Set Google Map language as Locale language
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/basics?csw=1#Localization
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/localization
Please check this link What is the list of supported languages/locales on Android? for supported language.

you can do this by simply changing the Locale of your application like this in your Splash or where you loading the maps.
String languageToLoad = "ar";
Locale locale = new Locale(languageToLoad);
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.locale = locale;
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
Hope this may help you.

Is there a way to force using english as the locale for my android app even if the phone's locale is something other that english? The reason I want to do this is that I don't want my UI to change orientatoin from ltr to rtl.
this line
mStrLocale = Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();
will return your current language, lets say EN-US
and with this you can hardcode your locale
Locale locale = new Locale("ru");
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = getBaseContext().getResources().getConfiguration();
config.locale = locale;
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
and we use Configuration because of this
This class describes all device configuration information that can
impact the resources the application retrieves. This includes both
user-specified configuration options (locale list and scaling) as well
as device configurations (such as input modes, screen size and screen
orientation).
is stated at this doc https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Configuration.html

I am used facebook sdk, but while configuring facebook account in Empathy, the labels are showing in hindi language but not in English. How to change this to English.
I just need Facebook login page English
When the user Facebook login, I should see the Facebook login page labels are showing in English language
I also face the same problem and that was caused because I am changing the configuration in one of my activity before AuthActivity and that change causes changing the facebook language into Spanish.
public void setLocaleToEnglishOnly(Context context) {
String languageToLoad = "es"; //changing it into 'en'solved my problem
Locale locale = new Locale(languageToLoad);
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.locale = locale;
context.getResources().updateConfiguration(config, context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
}
I want to convert my android project to multiple language. I have created a list view where different languages are going to be shown. I want to change the device language when I select any item from this list. How can I do this?
You can change the the Language like this
Locale locale = new Locale("en_US");
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.locale = locale;
context.getApplicationContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, null);
I have the following EditText:
EditText et1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtSp);
When user types in this EditText, it should display text in Spanish instead of English.
How can I achieve this?
Note: My application's language is English.
You can change the locale at runtime using that code:
Resources res = getApplicationContext().getResources();
Locale locale = new Locale("en"); //<--- use your locale code here
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.locale = locale;
res.updateConfiguration(config, res.getDisplayMetrics());
I assume you need to reset your layout afterwards too.
According to this post, it is not possible to change the locale for a currently running app.

The "DH" that Richard mentions in this post is an Android Framework Engineer. Look at Richard's previous post for a link to her comments.
I'm trying to change the language of the whole system of Android Phone on my application, cause our goal is to customized a Settings application.
I've tried this, but didn't work:
Configuration conf = Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration();
conf.locale = toSet; //toSet is a Locale which I want to set to the system
conf.setToDefaults();
the other try didn't work either:
Locale.setDefault(toSet)
There are ways to change the language of application, but not systems.
Is there any ways that I can reach the goal?
Will getting the root permissions works for me?
Or is there any ways to modify the UI interface of the Intent-Activity?
I've found that, in the source code, "platform/packages/apps/Settings/src/com/android/settings/LocalePicker.java", "com.android.internal.app.LocalePicker" might help, and in the "platform/frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/internal/app", there is a function which named "updateLocale", I guess it might help, but the class such as "IActivityManager" cause compile error in the Eclipse.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
try this
String languageToLoad = "zh";
Locale locale = new Locale(languageToLoad);
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.locale = locale;
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, null);
AndroidManifest:
add android:configChanges="locale"
