How to have an APP name for each language (Cordova to Android)

I'm using cordova and a wanna publish to Google Play, how can I publish a APP with diferent name to each language?

Solution

  • You just need to change app name in string.xml files

    in value/strings.xml 

     <string name="app_name">App Name in English</string>

    in value-fr/strings.xml 

     <string name="app_name">App name French</string>

    Android will automatically change app name both in home screen and in app screens according to current device language
