You cannot change the language for the entire device. At best, using tricks like in the answers, you can have your own application use a different language. – CommonsWare Mar 27 '14 at 13:09
Are you sure that you can't change the device language using java code in an application – user3468609 Mar 27 '14 at 13:23

    String languageToLoad = "de"; // your language
    Locale locale = new Locale(languageToLoad);
    Locale.setDefault(locale);
    Configuration config = new Configuration();
    config.locale = locale;
    getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
            getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
