I don't think the API is ready yet according to their roadmap:

Q4 2008
Localization
The UI and Application Framework for the Android 1.0 platform
primarily targets English-speaking regions. To enable handset
manufacturers to deploy devices in non-English-speaking countries, we
will support the following localizations:
* Strings localized into various languages.
o Q4 2008: German
o Q1 2009: French, Italian, es_es, zh_TW, Ja, NL, CZ
* UI modifications (tabs, menus, homepage shortcuts, etc.) to
support non-English languages.
* New date and numeric formats.
