Description

Setting language via Ti.Locale.setLanguage() changes language in the app, but it does not affect the language returned in Ti.Locale.getString()/L()like on iOS or Android. The following code shows the problem: index.js

Ti.Locale.setLanguage('en');
Ti.API.info('current language is: ' + Ti.Locale.getCurrentLanguage());
Ti.API.info('before change ' + L('test'));
Ti.Locale.setLanguage('sv');
Ti.API.info('new language is: ' + Ti.Locale.getCurrentLanguage());
Ti.API.info('after change ' + L('test'));

i18n/en/strings.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><resources>
	<string name="test">This is a test string in English</string>
</resources>

i18n/sv/strings.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><resources>
	<string name="test">This is a test string in Swedish</string>
</resources>

Hello, I am able to reproduce this issue with given code and given steps. *Steps:* 1. Create a default classic project for Windows Phone. 2. Replace the app.js file with following code.

   
   var win= Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
       title:'Tab 1',
       backgroundColor:'#fff'
   });
   
   win.open();
   
   
   Ti.Locale.setLanguage('en');
   
   Ti.API.info('current language is: ' + Ti.Locale.getCurrentLanguage());
   
   Ti.API.info('before change ' + L('test'));
   
   Ti.Locale.setLanguage('sv');
   
   Ti.API.info('new language is: ' + Ti.Locale.getCurrentLanguage());
   
   Ti.API.info('after change ' + L('test'));

3. Create i18n/en and i18n/sv folder. 4. In the i18n/en create strings.xml file with following content.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><resources>
   
   	<string name="test">This is a test string in English</string>
   
   </resources>

5. In the i18n/sv create strings.xml file with the following content.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><resources>
   
   	<string name="test">This is a test string in Swedish</string>
   
   </resources>

4. Build and run the app . Following log is produced.

   [INFO] :   current language is: en
   [INFO] :   before change This is a test string in English
   [INFO] :   new language is: sv
   [INFO] :   after change This is a test string in English
