I encountered the same problem: I needed to set my language to a language chosen in my app.

My fix was this:

  1. Keep your strings in your XML file, don't extract it to resources
  2. Make an exact copy of your XML and rename it to _languagecode, like _fr (use lowercase!)
  3. Fix your translations in your XML copy
  4. In code you check your app-level language and inflate the relevant XML

Example:

 String languageInitials = MyAppconfig.currentLanguageInitials();
        if (languageInitials.equals("NL")) {
            view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mylayout_nl, container, false);
        } else {
            view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_mylayout_fr, container, false);
        }

From these XML's, you can still extract the needed strings to resources.

This is easy to do.. for example using spinner to select a language. See the following code...

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    mTts = new TextToSpeech(this, new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
}
            public void onInit(int status) {
                if (status != TextToSpeech.ERROR) {
                    ttsIsInit = true;
                }
            }
        });


read.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (mTts != null && ttsIsInit) {
                    mTts.speak(exitTextFound, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
                }
            }
        });


public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,long arg3) {

        language = language_array[spinner.getSelectedItemPosition()];

        if (language.equals("English US")) {
            mTts.setLanguage(Locale.US);
        } else if (language.equals("Francais")) {
            mTts.setLanguage(Locale.FRANCE);
        } else if (language.equals("Espanol")) {
            mTts.setLanguage(new Locale("es"));
        }
    }

I think you should go for menus in your app in order to change (i.e to select) the languages.

On click of that menu buttons you have change corresponding strings.xml of that particular language.

For this please refer to my answer of following that thread. I think menu is best option to go for this.
