Hallo,

The old annoying bug that didn't allow proper usage of three-letter language codes in Android apps appears to be fixed. Or maybe not.

Here's the link: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=49120
The relevant MediaWiki bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36264

The last comment on the Android bug says: "The resource packaging system is still poorly designed, but now supports 3 letter locale codes and variants." The bug is not closed yet, however.

I don't know the Android community well.
What does it mean for us?
Is it actually fixed already? Is the fix released? Can we use it?
Will it work on all Android versions or only on the newest ones?

Thanks for pushing forward on this Amir! The Android ecosystem is super fragmented and I'm not positive how fixes like this get pushed out. Some of it is up to Google, some of it is up to carriers. This may be a better question to ask in their tracker, or perhaps someone like Yuvi can give you a more precise answer :)
