Answer 1

You obviously cannot change, download or remove strings.xml at runtime

If you want to store locations, you will have to use SQLite storage to store translations.

Answer 2

Now I can see only solution:

1. Create some "localization proxy" that will return me necessary resource (from string.xml or downloaded resource)
2. Replace all getString() and getText() to your own method getStringFromLocalization
3. Override TextView, Button and some other views with custom one and change there init and setText methods.

Answer 3

Overriding the standered resource/language using resource files which are complied time then your scarifying performance over customization. Do it only if u need this.
