You can switch while your application is running, but the new language
doesn’t take effect in widgets that already exist. Take a look at
“Bilingual applications” in the International Language Support chapter of
the Photon Programmer’s Guide.

If you change the language, it affects any widgets created afterward.
Existing widgets don’t change.

If the docs aren’t clear enough, please let me know.
