Is it possible to create a localized android application independent from the device's language. For example in .net we set CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture to the specified language, is this possible in android? The goal is to create a multilingual android application.

Additional Tips:

To get the current Language :

Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage();

To get the current Locale 

String locale = context.getResources().getConfiguration().locale.getDisplayName();

or 

String locale = java.util.Locale.getDefault().getDisplayName();

  • Thanks, but what I actually want is not to get the locale, I need to change it and only for my application, not the whole device – Hassan Mokdad Oct 20 '11 at 06:48
