+ <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>
