Answer 1

The better solution would be (if you're on API 17):

@NonNull
protected String getEnglishString() {
    Configuration configuration = getEnglishConfiguration();

    return getContext().createConfigurationContext(configuration).getResources().getString(message);
}

@NonNull
private Configuration getEnglishConfiguration() {
    Configuration configuration = new Configuration(getContext().getResources().getConfiguration());
    configuration.setLocale(new Locale("en"));
    return configuration;
}

Answer 2

Here is the code that work for me if cMK is String array from current locale and cEN is string array from diffrent locale

 cMK = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.cities);

         Configuration confTmp =new Configuration( getResources().getConfiguration());

         confTmp.locale = new Locale("en");

         DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();

         getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);

         Resources resources = new Resources(getAssets(), metrics, confTmp);

         /* get localized string */
         cENG = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.cities);

The current locale isn't changed and that was the point.
