Question

I create an accessibility service on android, in the manifest.xml file I declare the service with meta-data, and the resource tag references to an config.xml file which has the item android:description="@string/accessibility_service_description" Then in the values directory I have two string named accessibility_service_description in Chinese and English. What I expect is when I switch language, the description content will change. However, the description is the same, when I switch from English to Chinese. The same problem occur when switch from Chinese. The problem is when I install the application, the description content will be the same as the language then. So I don’t think it is the strings’ problem, is there any thing else i need to know?

You are doing everything right. It’s a framework bug that was fixed in Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean).
