Changing the language in F-Droid isn't reflected until F-Droid is restarted.

When changing the language of F-Droid via settings, F-Droid used to correctly update the locale when leaving the preferences activity. Given the settings are now part of the main activity, there is not the same opportunity to update the locale. As such, F-Droid needs to be closed and re-opened before the language is updated. This should be fixed.

Note, this is similar to the issue discussed in #907 (closed) about how themes used to apply correctly. The code in that issue was also used to ensure the language was updated correctly.

For reference:

• #458 (closed) is the original issue.
• 2ceeda40b74 was the fix.
• This SO post explains the need for layoutChanges|locale in your AndroidManifest.xml (for every activity)

ideally this would be handled nicely. From my experience, it is a lot of work to handle nicely. And I believe in 7.x, you can now set a list of languages to support, so this feature is not needed on those devices.

so I think that we can't make this a priority with the bazaar funding, but merge requests are always welcome!

Yup, I didn't assign it to %0.103 - UX Overhaul for this reason.

actually, it looks like the Languages update improved this situation, i.e. !461 (merged)
