![](https://developer.android.com/static/images/about/versions/13/app-languages.png) Per-app languages in system settings

In many cases, multilingual users set their system language to one language---such
as English---but they want to select other languages for specific apps, such as
Dutch, Chinese, or Hindi. To help apps provide a better experience for these
users, Android 13 introduces the following features for apps that support
multiple languages:

- **System settings**: A centralized location where users can select a
  preferred language for each app.

  You can configure your app to automatically generate the files needed to
  support per-app language preferences and show up in the system settings. To
  learn more, see the instructions for
  [enabling automatic per-app language support](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#auto-localeconfig).
- **Additional APIs** : These public APIs, such as the
  [`setApplicationLocales()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/LocaleManager#setApplicationLocales(android.os.LocaleList))
  and
  [`getApplicationLocales()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/LocaleManager#getApplicationLocales())
  methods in [`LocaleManager`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/LocaleManager), let apps
  set a different language from the system language at runtime.

  These APIs automatically sync with system settings; therefore, apps that use
  these APIs to create custom in-app language pickers will ensure their users
  have a consistent user experience regardless of where they select their
  language preferences. The public APIs also help you reduce the amount of
  boilerplate code, they support split APKs, and they support [Auto Backup for
  Apps](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/autobackup) to store app-level user language
  settings.

  For backward compatibility with previous Android versions, equivalent APIs
  are also available in AndroidX. However, the backward compatible APIs work
  with the AppCompatActivity context, not the application context, for Android 12
  (API level 32) and earlier. Access the backward compatible APIs with
  [Appcompat 1.6.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/appcompat#version_160_3)
  or higher.

## Overview of implementing this feature

The following table shows recommended implementations based on different use
cases.

| Use case | Recommended implementation |
|---|---|
| Your app doesn't have an in-app language picker | 1. Enable automatic per-app language support to generate a `LocaleConfig` file and add your app's languages to system settings. 2. Optionally, if you want to add an in-app language picker: use the AndroidX library and opt in to our [API implementation](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#androidx-impl) to support backward compatibility through `autoStoreLocales`. |
| Your app already has an in-app language picker | 1. Enable automatic per-app language support to generate a `LocaleConfig` file and add your app's languages to system settings. 2. Migrate your app's custom logic to use the [public APIs](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#androidx-impl) to ensure users see a consistent experience. 3. Handle the following corner cases: 1. Call `AppCompatDelegate.setApplicationLocales()` the first time your app is run on a device running Android 13. 2. Call `AppCompatDelegate.setApplicationLocales()` to provide pre-existing user-requested locales to the system for the following cases: - If you opt your app in to auto-storage for Android 12 (API level 32) and lower - If your app needs to [migrate data from a custom backup storage location](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#custom-storage) |

## System settings for users

Starting in Android 13, Android includes a centralized location in system
settings for setting per-app language preferences. To ensure your app's
languages are configurable in system settings on devices running Android 13 or
higher, enable automatic per-app language support (recommended) or [configure
support manually](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#use-localeconfig).

### Enable automatic per-app language support

| **Note:** This feature won't make changes to your project in the same way as the [manual setup process](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#use-localeconfig). All changes from the automatic process are done in generated files. For example, you won't see an `android:localeConfig` entry in your app's manifest or a file at `res/xml/locales_config.xml`. That is expected since all of the changes are generated automatically when the app is built.

Starting with Android Studio Giraffe and AGP 8.1, you can configure your app to
support [per-app language
preferences](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages)
automatically. Based on your project resources, AGP generates the `LocaleConfig`
file and adds a reference to it in the final manifest file, so you no longer
have to do it manually. AGP uses the resources in the `res` folders of your app
modules and any library module dependencies to determine the locales to include
in the `LocaleConfig` file. This means that if you add resources for a new
language to your app, you don't have to worry about updating the `LocaleConfig`
file.

Note that the automatic per-app language feature supports apps that run Android
13 (API level 33) or higher. To use the feature, you must set
`compileSdkVersion` to 33 or higher. To configure per-app language preferences
for prior versions of Android, you still need to
[use the APIs and in-app language pickers](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#api-implementation).
| **Caution:** If you turn on automatic per-app language support for an app in production, make sure that all the locales in your app and library module dependency resources are also ready to be published with your app.

To enable automatic per-app language support, follow these steps:

1. To turn the feature on, use the `generateLocaleConfig` setting in the `androidResources {}` block of the module-level `build.gradle.kts` file (`build.gradle` file if you're using Groovy). The feature is off by default.  

   ### Kotlin

   ```kotlin
       android {
         androidResources {
           generateLocaleConfig = true
         }
       }
       
   ```

   ### Groovy

   ```groovy
       android {
         androidResources {
           generateLocaleConfig true
         }
       }
       
   ```
2. Specify a default locale:
   1. In the app module's `res` folder, create a new file called `resources.properties`.
   2. In the `resources.properties` file, set the default
      locale with the `unqualifiedResLocale` label. To format the
      locale names, see [How to form locale names](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#locale-names).

AGP adds this default locale and any
[alternative locales](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/localization#creating-alternatives)
you've specified, using `values-*` directories in the `res` folder, to the
auto-generated `LocaleConfig` file.
| **Caution:** If automatic per-app language support is on, the build fails if you *do* manually create a `LocaleConfig` file. You must remove your manually created `LocaleConfig` file before you enable automatic per-app language support and build your app.

#### How to form locale names

To form locale names, combine the language code with the optional script and
region codes, separating each with a dash:

- Language: Use the two- or three-letter [ISO 639-1](http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php) code.
- Script (optional): Use the [ISO 15924](https://unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html)code.
- Region (optional): Use either the two-letter [ISO 3166-1-alpha-2](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:pub:PUB500001:en) code or three-digit [UN_M.49](https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/overview/) code.

For example if your default locale is American English:  

```groovy
unqualifiedResLocale=en-US
```

### Use `android:localeConfig` to add supported languages to system settings

| **Note:** We recommend using [enabling automatic per-app language support](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#auto-localeconfig) instead of configuring it manually if possible.

You can manually set up your app to to ensure its languages are configurable in
system settings on devices running Android 13 or higher. To do this, create a
`locales_config` XML file and add it your app's manifest using the
`android:localeConfig` attribute. Omitting the `android:localeConfig` manifest
entry signals that users shouldn't be able to set your app's language
independent of their system language within their system settings.

To manually add your app's supported languages to a user's system settings:

1. Create a file called `res/xml/locales_config.xml` and specify your app's
   languages, including your app's
   [ultimate fallback locale](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/multilingual-support),
   which is the locale specified in `res/values/strings.xml`.

   See [How to form locale names](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#locale-names) for the format requirements.
   See also the [sample `locale_config.xml`file](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#sample-config) for a list of
   the most commonly used locales.

   For example, format the `locales_config.xml` file like this for an app that
   supports the following languages:
   - English (United States) as the ultimate fallback locale
   - English (United Kingdom)
   - French
   - Japanese
   - Chinese (Simplified, Macau)
   - Chinese (Traditional, Macau)

       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
       <locale-config xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
          <locale android:name="en-US"/>
          <locale android:name="en-GB"/>
          <locale android:name="fr"/>
          <locale android:name="ja"/>
          <locale android:name="zh-Hans-MO"/>
          <locale android:name="zh-Hant-MO"/>
       </locale-config>

2. In the manifest, add a line pointing to this new file:

       <manifest>
           ...
           <application
               ...
               android:localeConfig="@xml/locales_config">
           </application>
       </manifest>

You can dynamically update your app's `localeConfig` with
`LocaleManager.setOverrideLocaleConfig` to customize the set of languages
displayed in the per-app language list in Android Settings. This lets you
customize the language list per region, run A/B experiments, and provide updated
locales if your app utilizes server-side localization pushes as shown in the
following example:  

### Kotlin

```kotlin
//For setOverrideLocaleConfig
val localeManager = applicationContext
    .getSystemService(LocaleManager::class.java)
localeManager.overrideLocaleConfig = LocaleConfig(
LocaleList.forLanguageTags("en-US,ja-JP,zh-Hans-SG")
)

//For getOverrideLocaleConfig
// The app calls the API to get the override LocaleConfig
val overrideLocaleConfig = localeManager.overrideLocaleConfig
// If the returned overrideLocaleConfig isn't equal to NULL, then the app calls the API to get the supported Locales
val supportedLocales = overrideLocaleConfig.supportedLocales()
```

### Java

```java
//For setOverrideLocaleConfig
mContext.getSystemService(LocaleManager.class).setOverrideLocaleConfig(new LocaleConfig(LocaleList.forLanguageTags("en-US,ja-JP,zh-Hans-SG")));

//For getOverrideLocaleConfig
// The app calls the API to get the override LocaleConfig
LocaleConfig overrideLocaleConfig = mContext.getSystemService(LocaleManager.class).getOverrideLocaleConfig();
// If the returned overrideLocaleConfig isn't equal to NULL, then the app calls the API to get the supported Locales
LocaleList supportedLocales = overrideLocaleConfig.getSupportedLocales();
```

Additionally, IMEs can now use
[`LocaleManager.getApplicationLocales`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/LocaleManager#getApplicationLocales(java.lang.String))
to know the UI language of the current app to update the keyboard language as
shown:  

### Kotlin

```kotlin
val currentAppLocales: LocaleList = applicationContext.getSystemService(LocaleManager::class.java).getApplicationLocales(appPackageName)
```

### Java

```java
LocaleList currentAppLocales =
    mContext.getSystemService(LocaleManager.class).getApplicationLocales(appPackageName);
```

### Specify supported languages in Gradle

If not already present, specify the same languages using the
[`resourceConfigurations`](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/7.4/com/android/build/api/dsl/BaseFlavor#resourceConfigurations())
property in your app's module-level `build.gradle` file:  

    android {
      ...
      defaultConfig {
        resourceConfigurations += ["en", "en-rGB", "fr", "ja", "b+zh+Hans+MO", "b+zh+Hant+MO"]
      }
    }

When the `resourceConfigurations` property is present, the build system only includes
language resource in the APK for these specified languages, preventing
translated strings from being included from other libraries that might support
languages that your app does not support. For more information, see
[specify the languages your app supports](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/multilingual-support#specify-the-languages-your-app-supports).
| **Important:** If you're adding support for any languages for the first time, make sure to follow the guidance in [localize your
| app](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/localization) for those languages. Adding per-app language settings does not automatically translate your app's resources into those languages.

### How users select an app language in system settings

Users can select their preferred language for each app through the system
settings. They can access these settings in two different ways:

- Access through the **System** settings

  **Settings \> System \> Languages \& Input \> App Languages \> (select an app)**
- Access through **Apps** settings

  **Settings \> Apps \> (select an app) \> Language**

## Handle in-app language pickers

For apps that already have an in-app language picker or want to use one, use the
public APIs instead of custom app logic to handle setting and getting a user's
preferred language for your app. If you use the public APIs for your in-app
language picker, the device's system settings are automatically updated to
match whichever language the user selects through your in-app experience.

For backward compatibility with previous Android versions, we strongly recommend
using the AndroidX support library when implementing an in-app language picker.
However, you can also [implement the framework APIs directly](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#framework-impl)
if you need to.

### Implement using the AndroidX support library

Use the [`setApplicationLocales()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appcompat/app/AppCompatDelegate#setApplicationLocales(androidx.core.os.LocaleListCompat)) and [`getApplicationLocales()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appcompat/app/AppCompatDelegate#getApplicationLocales())
methods in [Appcompat 1.6.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/appcompat#version_160_3)
or higher. Note the backward compatible APIs work with the AppCompatActivity context,
not the application context, for Android 12 (API level 32) and earlier.
| **Caution:** If you're using Compose with `setApplicationLocales()`, you must extend your activity from `AppCompatActivity`. Otherwise, setting the app locale won't work. Refer to our [sample app](https://github.com/android/user-interface-samples/tree/main/PerAppLanguages/compose_app) to get started.

For example, to set a user's preferred language, you would ask the user to
select a locale in the language picker, then set that value in the system:  

### Kotlin

```kotlin
val appLocale: LocaleListCompat = LocaleListCompat.forLanguageTags("xx-YY")
// Call this on the main thread as it may require Activity.restart()
AppCompatDelegate.setApplicationLocales(appLocale)
```

### Java

```java
LocaleListCompat appLocale = LocaleListCompat.forLanguageTags("xx-YY");
// Call this on the main thread as it may require Activity.restart()
AppCompatDelegate.setApplicationLocales(appLocale);
```

Note that calling `setApplicationLocales()` recreates your `Activity`, unless
your app [handles locale configuration
changes](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes) by itself.

Use [`AppCompatDelegate.getApplicationLocales()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appcompat/app/AppCompatDelegate#getApplicationLocales()) to retrieve the user's preferred locale. The user might have selected their app locale from [system settings](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#app-language-settings) or from your in-app language picker.

#### Support Android 12 and lower

To support for devices running Android 12 (API level 32) and lower, tell
AndroidX to handle locale storage by setting an `autoStoreLocales` value to
`true` and `android:enabled` to `false` in the manifest entry for your app's
`AppLocalesMetadataHolderService` service, as shown in the following code
snippet:  

    <application
      ...
      <service
        android:name="androidx.appcompat.app.AppLocalesMetadataHolderService"
        android:enabled="false"
        android:exported="false">
        <meta-data
          android:name="autoStoreLocales"
          android:value="true" />
      </service>
      ...
    </application>

Note that setting an `autoStoreLocales` value to `true` causes a blocking read
on the main thread and might cause a
[`StrictMode`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/StrictMode) `diskRead` and
`diskWrite` violation if you are logging thread violations. See
[`AppCompatDelegate.setApplicationLocales()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appcompat/app/AppCompatDelegate#setApplicationLocales(androidx.core.os.LocaleListCompat))
for more information.

##### Custom storage handling

Omitting the manifest entry or setting `autoStoreLocales` to `false` signals
that you are handling your own storage. In this case, you must provide the
stored locales before `onCreate` in the activity lifecycle and gate calls to
`AppCompatDelegate.setApplicationLocales()` in Android 12 (API level 32) or
lower.

If your app has a custom locale storage location, we recommend using a one-time
handoff between your custom locale storage solution and `autoStoreLocales` so
users continue to enjoy your app in the language they prefer. This is especially
applicable in cases when your app is first run after a device has upgraded to
Android 13. In this case, you can provide pre-existing, user-requested locales
by retrieving the locales from your custom storage and passing the locales into
`AppCompatDelegate.setApplicationLocales()`.

### Implement using the Android framework APIs

While we strongly recommend that you use the AndroidX support library to
implement in-app language pickers, you can also use the
[`setApplicationLocales()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/LocaleManager#setApplicationLocales(android.os.LocaleList))
and [`getApplicationLocales()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/LocaleManager#getApplicationLocales())
methods in the Android framework for devices running Android 13.

For example, to set a user's preferred language, you would ask the user to
select a locale in the language picker, then set that value in the system:  

    // 1. Inside an activity, in-app language picker gets an input locale "xx-YY"
    // 2. App calls the API to set its locale
    mContext.getSystemService(LocaleManager.class
        ).setApplicationLocales(new LocaleList(Locale.forLanguageTag("xx-YY")));
    // 3. The system updates the locale and restarts the app, including any configuration updates
    // 4. The app is now displayed in "xx-YY" language

To get a user's current preferred language to display in the language picker,
your app can get the value back from the system:  

    // 1. App calls the API to get the preferred locale
    LocaleList currentAppLocales =
        mContext.getSystemService(LocaleManager.class).getApplicationLocales();
    // 2. App uses the returned LocaleList to display languages to the user

## Additional best practices

Take note of the following best practices.

### Consider language when invoking an intent in another app

Language-focused intents might allow you to specify the language you want the
invoked app to be in. One example is the
[`EXTRA_LANGUAGE`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/RecognizerIntent#EXTRA_LANGUAGE)
feature from the Speech Recognizer API.

### Consider the Accept-Language header for Chrome Custom tab

Consider adding the [Accept-Language Header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Language)
through the [`Browser.EXTRA_HEADERS`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Browser#EXTRA_HEADERS)
to open a web page in your app's language when invoking a Chrome Custom tab.

### If you remove per-app language preferences within system settings, reset your app locale to the system locale

If you remove your app's language preferences from system settings (by removing
`android:localeConfig` from your app's `AndroidManifest.xml`), users can't
easily reset their app language back to the system default.

For this reason, if you remove `android:localeConfig`, consider resetting the
app locale to the system locale using
[`LocaleListCompat.getEmptyLocaleList()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/os/LocaleListCompat#getEmptyLocaleList())
or
[`LocaleList.getEmptyLocaleList()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/LocaleList#getEmptyLocaleList())
as seen in the following code snippet:  

### Kotlin

```kotlin
// Use the AndroidX APIs to reset to the system locale for backward and forward compatibility
AppCompatDelegate.setApplicationLocales(
  LocaleListCompat.getEmptyLocaleList()
)

// Or use the Framework APIs for Android 13 and above to reset to the system locale
val context = LocalContext.current
context.getSystemService(LocaleManager::class.java)
  .applicationLocales = LocaleList.getEmptyLocaleList()
```

### Java

```java
// Use the AndroidX APIs to reset to the system locale for backward and forward compatibility
AppCompatDelegate.setApplicationLocales(
  LocaleListCompat.getEmptyLocaleList()
);

// Or use the Framework APIs for Android 13 and above to reset to the system locale
mContext.getSystemService(LocaleManager.class)
  .setApplicationLocales(LocaleList.getEmptyLocaleList());
```

## Sample locale_config.xml file

By default, Android includes system-level translations in the Android Open
Source Project (AOSP) for a standard set of the most commonly-used locales.
The sample `locale_config.xml` file that's included in this section shows the
suggested format for each of these locales. Reference this sample file to help
you construct your own `locale_config.xml` file for the set of languages that
your app supports.
