Change language in universal app in runtime

I want to change the language at my universal app at runtime-not when restart the app-, I tried this code:

   private void ArabicRadioButton_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (!loaded) return;
        var localSettings = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
        localSettings.Values["ArabicSelected"] = true;
        Windows.Globalization.ApplicationLanguages.PrimaryLanguageOverride = "ar-EG";
        SettingsHeader.Text = "الاعدادات";
        (Window.Current.Content as Frame).Navigate((Window.Current.Content as Frame).Content.GetType());
        (Window.Current.Content as Frame).GoBack();

    }

    private void EnglishRadioButton_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (!loaded) return;
        var localSettings = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;
        localSettings.Values["ArabicSelected"] = false;
        Windows.Globalization.ApplicationLanguages.PrimaryLanguageOverride = "en-US";
        SettingsHeader.Text = "Settings";
        (Window.Current.Content as Frame).Navigate((Window.Current.Content as Frame).Content.GetType());
        (Window.Current.Content as Frame).GoBack();


    }

the language doesn't change correcty; it changed sometimes and somtimes not. I don't know what is the reason-This proplem is in both Windows 8.1 and Windows phone 8.1-.

Try: 

var culture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
                    Windows.Globalization.ApplicationLanguages.PrimaryLanguageOverride = culture.Name;
                    CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = culture;
                    CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = culture;
                    (Window.Current.Content as Frame).FlowDirection = Windows.UI.Xaml.FlowDirection.LeftToRight;
                    var loader = new Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources.ResourceLoader();

Also, set flow direction for ar-EG as: 

(Window.Current.Content as Frame).FlowDirection = Windows.UI.Xaml.FlowDirection.RighttoLeft;

For en-us: 

(Window.Current.Content as Frame).FlowDirection = Windows.UI.Xaml.FlowDirection.LeftToRight;
