Description

Steps to reproduce: Create app/i18n/ru/app.xml 
<resources>
    <string name="appname">Мое приложение</string>
</resources>
Build app and look at the build/android/res/values-ru/strings.xml You can find localized value app_neme there. In app.js add Ti.API.warn(L("app_name", "I'm default value")); You can see: *I'm default value* But must be: *Мое приложение* But Ti.Locale.getString("app_name"); works as expected.

    Hello, I think the issue here is the language selected in your android phone. If the language in your android phone is not selected as Russian then "L("app_name", "I'm default value")" will return the default value which happened in your case and I am able to reproduce also. I am actually able to get localized app name by doing the following steps. 1. Selected the language of my android phone as English-Australian 2. Created a default classic project for android. 3. Created folder "i18n/en-AU" in the project folder. 4. Created app.xml in that folder with following content. 
       <resources>
   	<string name="appname">Australian APP</string>
   </resources>
    5. Replaced app.js code with following code. 
       var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
       title:'Tab 1',
       backgroundColor:'#fff'
   });
   
   win1.open();
   
   Ti.API.warn(L("app_name", "I'm default value"));
    6. Build and run the app. 7. Got the following console log. 
       [WARN] :   Australian APP

    But why Ti.Locale.getString("app_name") and L("app_name") has not identical value in my case?
