Changing Language on Android Broken

[djhalliday]

Changing languages within the settings dialog still doesn't seem to be quite right - appears to be reading from the wrong .xml file when selecting an option. Needs to be fixed ASAP for int'l beta testing.

I cleaned up the string resource files with the hopes that consolidating the resources would prevent app from loading the wrong xml files. I can't replicate this problem on my build though. What resource did it attempt to load when you noticed the error?

Great! yes it seems to work well for English, Arabic and Farsi. I was trying to add Simplified Chinese and it's not taking. What else do I need to add besides an entry into strings.xml and the correct values- folder with translated itc_strings.xml?

Make sure you change the "strings.xml" values in each language's folder? If
you are still stuck, I can take a crack at it when you push to master next
time.

hmm, we should be able to refrain from having to maintain duplicate value xmls within each of the translated folders for things like colors.xml and styles.xml - and I've removed strings.xml from those other folders locally and it's still translating fine just using the one in values/. i'll push and you can take a crack at lining things up - but let me know what it takes?

also, have a look at k-9's translation. I like it a lot, the list is:
System default
Catala
Deutsch
etc.

I like the "system default" as default, and also like that each language is translated correctly. some stuff to chew on.
