Android localize es-r419

Question

I\'m localizing my app and one of the language/region supported is Espanol-419. Android doesn\'t support the naming convention values-es-r419 but it does accept values-en-rGB.

Answer 1

es-r419 = es-rUS. 

change the folder name to values-es-rUS for consistency with runtime user options.

When using Google Translation services, when you request translation to Spanish for Latin America, you will receive es-r419 folder returned.

When looking at AOSP source, or in the settings->language and input->language, you will see Spanish and Spanish (United States).

At runtime, selecting language = Spanish (United States), you will not see strings pulled from values-es-r419, and of course you will see strings pulled from values-es-rUS
