android overrideLocale won't restart app

[wyong95]

The doc stated switch language require to restart the app but _android.foregroundActivity.finish(); just close the app and not restarting the app. How to make it restart the app and change to the language I selected ? After I open back the app again, the language didn't change at all, still default device's language.

I want to change from chinese to english or vice-versa and able to restart the app after changing the language and display the content with the language selected.

Another question, will it be showing english after I change from chinese if I kill the app and reopen again?

P/S: My default device's language is zh-CN.

Try to call : In main.ts file : on(launchEvent, (args) => { if (args.android) { androidLaunchEventLocalizationHandler(); } });

In your function to change language programmatically (ts file. example : example.component.ts) :

changeLanguage(lang){
const localeOverriddenSuccessfully = overrideLocale(lang);
    if (!isIOS) {
      androidLaunchEventLocalizationHandler();
    } else {

    }
}
