How to support different languages with sound

Question

Im creating a application that´s talking to the user, I want to support English to. I know how to do so with strings. But i dont know how to do it with sound, is it just do create a new folder called raw-eng? Then put the English sounds in there?

I have tried to create this folder but can´t get it to work when i change the language to English on my phone.

I have tried to search on devleoper.android.com but could not find a answer.. mabey you guys here could explain how to do this.

You can use workaround. Add to string resources names of files. And load string by id. String will contain name of localized sound.
Edit
Look at this post. I thought that you tried to use raw and this is impossible :)

You can put your files to assets folder to different folders names, for example, sound_en, sound_ru, sound_fr. To select current folder you can use

String currentLanguage = Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();

or add folder name as string to res/valuse/strings (as X90 told in previous answer)
