 Supporting Different Languages in android

In this article, we will learn how to build an Android APP that supports (Internationalization and Localization) in multiple languages. Language plays a crucial role in the overall interface of the app and it is great if you can append more languages to it so that you can support a wider audience. This makes your Android app more usable and a larger audience can comfortably use it. 

Android is one of only a handful couple of well-known portable working frameworks having a great many clients in more than 190 nations and developing step by step.
