What he said :-)

We’d like at a minimum the display-names of the data-elements/option-sets
to respect the DHIS2 User database language setting … and a bonus would be
that the user can ’select’ from the available languages during login to the
App.

For prompts and such, I understand one just needs to create a resource XML
file that complies with the Android standard for locales and include it in
the build (just finished one in Russian which we’re about to test).
