Answer from AI

To implement multilingual support in an Android application, resource files with translations are used. The main steps:

  1. Create resource folders for each language, for example:

    • res/values/strings.xml (default)
    • res/values-ru/strings.xml (Russian)
    • res/values-en/strings.xml (English)
  2. In each file, define strings with the same keys but in different languages.

  3. Android will automatically select the appropriate language based on device settings.

Example of a string in strings.xml:

<string name="welcome_message">Welcome</string>

In the strings.xml for English:

<string name="welcome_message">Welcome</string>

For dynamic language change, you can programmatically change the application's configuration, but this requires additional logic.
