Is possible to set only default English language of application in android

Question

I only want set only default English language of application in android.

After Supporting Different Languages, I also use values/strings.xml to store characters in that file.

If in English language mode of System Settings, I can show correct words.

If in Chinese language mode of System Settings, The English words was translated to Chinese.

I don't want it translate automatically.

People who know how to set only default English language,

Please help me.

Thanks,

Answer 1

I can get correct answer now via the codes in below :

public static void setDefaultLanguage(Context context, String lang) {
    Locale locale = new Locale(lang);
    Locale.setDefault(locale);
    Configuration config = new Configuration();
    config.locale = locale;
    context.getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
            context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
}

In that, what is lang value? You should get correct Language System to pass this value to lang parameter.

Thanks,

Are you storing all the strings for both languages in one .xml? If so that is probably your issue…

res/values/strings.xml Contains English text for all the strings that the application uses,

res/values-ja/strings.xml - for japanese, but I am sure you can find one for the language you are looking for! Android looks for the "values-ja" tag.
