You have to specify the Locale in your `Android App`, it will handle rest all the things automatically. — Abhinav Suman, Sep 11 '18 at 10:08

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.

In this i can not see name of the India in Hindi or Gujarati – Er.nishka Sep 11 '18 at 11:53
you have to set the `Locale` for Hindi and Gujarati if available in supported Language list. – Abhinav Suman Sep 11 '18 at 12:31
In place of String languageToLoad = "ar"; i tried both String languageToLoad = "gu"; and String languageToLoad = "guj"; but its not working – Er.nishka Sep 11 '18 at 12:35
Try with this `gu_ [Gujarati]` `gu_IN [Gujarati (India)]`, else i have to make a sample to show you as I have used in case of Arabic and its works simply. – Abhinav Suman Sep 11 '18 at 12:44
