You seem to be wanting to have "UPD" and "BBS" as some kind of sublocales within an "en_US" locale, and to switch between them by changing the localeChain. But the ResourceManager doesn't have any concept of sublocales; it's a simple two-tier system with bundles inside of locales. (I suppose you could have two locales called en_US_UPD and en_US_BBS with a "config" bundle inside each one. Or you could have en_US with two bundles named "upd" and "bbs".)
Is there some reason why you're trying to use the ResourceManager for app configuration rather than for localization? For configuration, I'd suggest using XML files to specify the UPD and BBS views and attributes.

I want to switch to the correct bundle when a user changes the dropdown values. attached is the code for the dropdown and the switching. can someone tell me how to point to the correct bundles?
