System strings messed up when changing BaseLocale, requires app uninstall to fix.

[shahimclt]

So I noticed a sort-of-bug : Suppose I have my Rosetta config defined as:

Locale firstLaunchLocale = Locale.getDefault();
Locale baseLocale = Locale.US;

HashSet<Locale> supportedLocales = new HashSet<>();
supportedLocales.add(new Locale("ml"));
supportedLocales.add(new Locale("ar"));
supportedLocales.add(new Locale("hi"));
supportedLocales.add(baseLocale);

LanguageSwitcher ls = new LanguageSwitcher(this,firstLaunchLocale,baseLocale);
ls.setSupportedLocales(supportedLocales);

and I publish the app.

Later, I noticed that the language switcher dialog was showing English(US), but I preferred to show just English. So I changed the baseLocale to Locale.ENGLISH.

Now, the issue is when I change the firstLaunchLocale and/or baseLocale, and then push an update, users who update the app from the previous version experience this in most of the system provided strings:

The only solution I found is to uninstall the older version and do a fresh install of the new version.

So is there any way to rectify this?

Thank you @shahimclt for flagging this. The current design pattern of the library seems a bit buggy as it causes some problems it shouldn't do. I'm trying now to revisit the code again and to redo it later.
