How do I localize my apps on Android?

In order to localize the strings used in your application , make a new folder under res with name of values-local where local would be the replaced with the region. Once that folder is made, copy the strings. xmlfrom default folder to the folder you have created. And change its contents.

How do I change localization in Android?

You'll find this screen either in the System Settings app: Languages, or System Settings: System: Languages and input. The Language preference screen should contain one entry called “English (Europe)”. Click Add language and add a fallback language.

If your application icon is in a localized drawable-LOCALE folder then on the device, the application icon can be a localized version. Currently with the web market updates, you upload a hi-res application icon when you publish, and that icon is used in the market. So localized icon in the app, standard icon in the market.

You can use qualifiers in mipmap. For example, I have an app that has two language English and Arabic. I put my English icon app in the normal mipmap and create a new folders for Arabic version. Hope this screenshots clear my point:
