Do android support multiple languages?

If i run my android application with a htc magic with locale English, I find my application running properly and if i try to run it on Motorola droid with locale korean, My application(apk) is not even installing on the device. Does android support different language? Is it is because of different language OS versions?

Can an app use multiple languages?

Many apps in the app store are available in multiple languages. For ease of maintenance, most companies do not produce different versions of an app for different locations unless there are regulatory or compliance issues. Games, for example, are often the same but the app supports multiple languages.

Multilanguage support is easy done for android. Create a new values directory for the language with the suffix of the language code. For german: values-de or french: values-fr than copy your strings.xml into that and translate each entry. Thats all you need.
