android-How to change app name on phone's language

I've seen this in some apps , for example when the language is english , the app's name is in english but when the phone's language is changed to arabic for example ,it changes the application name to arabic .

By application name, I mean the name of app in the phone not when it opens .

How can I do so ?

Create a folder inside "res" call it values-ar for arabic language inside that folder create a string file string.xml put your app name like this:

<string name="app_name">السلة</string>

then in your Manifest file change app tag : android:label="@string/app_name"

hope this helps

You can achieve that by settings strings.xml for every language you want to add. enter image description here

Now ensure that inside to any xml you will have in resources <string name="app_name">Your_app_name</string>

Specify the label in your manifest's application tag as shown below:

android:label="@string/app_name"

Now put the app_name in all the different strings files. This will surely change the name of the application when you change the language of the device.
