+ <p>You have two options for changing the operating language of a running emulator: either use the <uicontrol
+ >Custom Locale</uicontrol> application (found on the Application tab of the emulated device), or change the
+ emulator settings using the appropriate adb commands. MOTODEV Studio for Android simplifies this latter
+ operation, allowing you to easily change the emulator's locale from the Device Management view. Note that the
+ emulator will be restarted if you choose this option.</p>

+ <step>
+ <cmd>In the Device Management view, right-click the running emulator and select <uicontrol>Language</uicontrol>.</cmd>
+ <stepresult>The Emulator Language dialog appears.</stepresult>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <cmd>Specify the desired locale as a combination of language and country. For example, to configure the emulator
+ to appear as it would in England, select "English" as the language and "United Kingdom" as the country.</cmd>
