On Android the language is controlled by the OS, so you'll have to change the 
language of the phone itself on the Android settings (and that will affect all 
apps).

My phone always set to my language. But the apps still on English when I update 
it.

What is the language of your phone? Do you know the locale code? (Something 
like en_US for example).

Perhaps OSMTracker doesn't have a translation for that.

My language is Bahasa Indonesia which the code is ID. I've translated Bahasa on 
transifex.

Indeed, there are id and id_ID resources on the app.

Sorry I'm not sure what's going on, the app. itself doesn't have control over 
the language, it relies on the Android global setting. What if you change your 
phone settings to something else, does it changes OSMTracker language?

I'm switch to Germany de_DE, the app changed to Germany. But when I switch back 
to Bahasa Indonesia id_ID, it's back to English. Is it a bug?

Perhaps a bug in Android or Java, maybe related to:
* https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5476
* https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13022

Also the Javadoc for Locale mentions "id" / "in": 
http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale.html

Perhaps an option is to duplicate the {{id}} and {{id_ID}} resources to {{in}} 
and {{in_ID}}.

Would you have, by any chance, another open source app. that works with your 
locale so that I could check how they did it?
