This is ok but do not split the updateResources into different versions, just use the solution below (kotlin). Key is in "Configuration(context.resources.configuration)" it makes deep copy.

100% solution for API 21+. I have not tested for lower ones, but should work.

private fun updateResources(context: Context, language: String): Context {
    return Configuration(context.resources.configuration).run {
        Locale.setDefault(Locale(language).also { locale ->
            setLocale(locale)
        }).let {
            context.createConfigurationContext(this)
        }
    }
}
