Description

Following are the issues found around the modification of language at runtime in Android app: * Titanium module LocaleModule does not offer support for changing the language (it is supported on iOS) * Compilation script does not support regions (i.e. es-CO, es-CL) In the current task it’s required to allow the modification of language + region for Android platform.
