The user changing the language is a config change (likely rare, except
for developers testing localization, but still).
Possibly more commonplace, docking (and undocking), is a config change.
Back to the original topic: Andorid automatically saves and restores
those views that have an ID. If a view has the default ID value of -1
(either not assigned in XML or not set in code), it's state is not saved.
And IIRC, TextView by default doesn't save or restore state even if
there is an ID. Setting android:freezesText="true" in XML or calling
setFreezesText(true) from code is supposed to force saving, but I've
never tried it myself.
public voidsetFreezesText(boolean freezesText)
Since:API Level 1
<http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/api-levels.html#level1>
Control whether this text view saves its entire text contents when
freezing to an icicle, in addition to dynamic state such as cursor
position. By default this is false, not saving the text. Set to true if
the text in the text view is not being saved somewhere else in
persistent storage (such as in a content provider) so that if the view
is later thawed the user will not lose their data.

*"Note:* Using this attribute should be avoided and used only as a

It really seems to me that you're the one ignoring some important
details. You are advising the OP to use this solution to solve his
state problem which is clearly documented as not being the correct
thing to do.
