How does the device select a region qualifier / is this implemented?

Page 35 of the Programmers Guide mentions region qualifiers.

In the simulator I can only select a language, not a region.
If I use a region qualifier, is this an extra restriction, with a default on the language (fre_CAN for Canada and fre for everywhere else?)

How does this work?
  • Currently the devices that run Connect IQ do not support region qualifiers, nor does the simulator. When they are supported though we'll try to load the string using the language with qualifier, then language, then default string. So if the device is set to French Canadian, we'll try to load those strings first, then we'll load French in for those strings that aren't translated into French Canadian, then we'll load in the default strings from resources/ for any remaining strings.
