| <p>This function (accessible by right-clicking a running emulator from the Device Management view and selecting |
| <uicontrol>Language</uicontrol>) changes the emulator settings to the selected locale using <codeph>setprop |
| persist</codeph> adb shell commands. The emulator is then restarted so that the settings can take effect. Note |
| that not all emulators support all of the listed languages and countries; if you select an unsupported locale |
| the system displays using its default language. However, your application should localize based upon the |
| selected locale.</p> |
