Android N brings more robust resource resolution, and
finds better fallbacks automatically. However, to speed up resolution and improve
maintainability, you should store resources in the most common parent dialect.
- For example, if you were storing Spanish resources in the {@code es-US} directory
- before, move them into the {@code es-419} directory, which contains Latin American Spanish.
- Similarly, if you have resource strings in a folder named {@code en-GB}, rename
- the folder to {@code en-001} (international English), because the most common

The following examples explain why these practices improve performance and
reliability of resource resolution.
