I tried :
Resources res = getResources();
res.getConfiguration().locale = Locale.GERMANY;
firstline= res.getString(R.string.firstline);
in my onCreate() . But, although I do have res/values-de/strings.xml
this still gives me the english string for firstline.
So it seems to me that there's no easy way to test different languages
without an actual device for that language (?)
