Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-Fr");

but i don't know if i need to add this on each activity / fragment ?

Yes, it just worked in current activity / fragment. If you want to keep the French language, you have to add in your every resumed of activities. Or you can add a base activity like this thread:

Then other activity could extend this base activity.
