Forcing language to not change

I have app in android studio and When i install APK and Language is English,

it show language of app like i want, but when phone language is different like Persian, it show other language in app and i don't want it...

how i can force app to use same English even language of phone changed?

my application is in Android studio and just one line have problem, mean there is a line words in application, and when i change language phone, it change to a different language same i don't want.

this is my main.xml (same line code

   <TextView
        android:id="@+id/diffText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Dhuhar After one hour  10 min"
        android:textColor="#ffffff"
        android:textSize="16dip"
        android:textStyle="bold"></TextView>
</LinearLayout>

And this one is not available in my string.xml, it mean it not translated, correct?

and cause "one hour 10min" is not stable, there is easy way i force it to use for all language same use for english?

If you want only english for all languages, dont set different language xml.. Just provide only default strings.xml.. app will show what ever text in strings.xml.

If you don't define your string in other language files (only write <string name="yourstring" translatable="false">Your english string</string>) then you will get your expected behavior.

That is because it takes the strings from values/ if they are not available in the specific folder for the current language (e.g. values-de/)
