About Localized Apps

This app allows you to create shortcuts and choose which language each shortcut will use.

Extremely useful for people who like to use the phone in english and want to use a specific app on another language!

EXAMPLE: android system in english and run google maps in portuguese

Using a localized shortcut is slower because it has to change the language and then change it back after exiting the app. Please be patient!

The localization depends on the 3rd party app, this app will not translate it!

Android does not have support to launch applications on different languages. The workaround is to change the system language during the app execution.

You should use ISO639 languages (en, pt, fr, es, de, it, etc) and ISO3166 countries (US, BR, FR, ES, DE, IT, etc).

ATTENTION: Navigon is not working with this app. If you are a navigon user, please contact me so I can fix it on future versions!

Navigation, Maps and Millennium Bank apps are still crushing while trying to start in polish (pl) but the idea is perfect. Crossing my fingers for upd

Works great!

Z70%

Either switches locale but fails to launch activity or does nothing (en_RU ru_RU). [HTC Desire Z Stock Gingerbread/HTC Sense 2.1 ROM] But the idea is certainly great!

X70%

I was looking for this, as I prefer my Android OS to be in English but like to have some apps running in French (my mother tongue). Works for some apps, but not for all. for instance, Navigation (part of Google Maps) crashes when using a "Localized Apps" shortcut.

The idea behind this app is great! I tried this version of the app and also the root version you published on XDA. I'm using the HTC One X+ on Android 4.1.1. When I quit the localized app, the system's language doesn't switch back to my main language (English). I was about to use this app for the iTheory app (German) and it didn't work. If you fix this, I'll edit my review for your app. Thank you for your great work!

I set the app to load in Chinese which works. But after I exit the program there is like 80% chance the interface will remain Chinese and not change back to English US.

Change system setting can change language of Google sky map but no change for Localized Apps.

Edit my bad comment It works on Navigon under ICS, and back to home, OS language is set back to original Wonderful

by M####:

Works great, allowes me to start navigation in Dutch. Sometimes however the language does not switch back.

M70%
by M####:

I use it to start Navigon in DE to get the street name pronunciation right. As long as you stay in Navigon, this works fine. But if you use the app button to start e.g. the phone app, it will restart the launcher in DE (I want it to remain in EN). Still 4/5 as it seems to be the only way to teach Navigon German, witout switching the whole device to German.

Works perfectly!

I don't get it.. Where are the shortcuts? It says 'shortcut created' but where do I find it? It's not on any of my homescreens

Doesn't work for Navigation :o( I switch phone to HU, create HU shortcut, switch phone back to EN and nav starts in EN - desire z 2.3.3

Idea is nice, but for some reason this app does not change the language back to English after exiting an app, I have to do it manually.
