To automatically load locale specific overlays, one requires the locale to be set for that language AND that that language be supported by the ROM. This works great for the EFIGS languages on and EFIGS ROM, but does not work for languages not supported by the ROM (most non-Latin languages).
You can force the use of an overlay for your application by explicitly opening the overlay as a resource database. When you do this, calls to DmGetResource and DmGet1Resource will retrieve resources from your overlay rather than your PRC's resources. However, in order to display non Latin-based characters correctly, you will also have to install a language support hack or library that supports your language. Check out Paragon Software for example....

Imagine that I have an "enUS" locale of my ROM. A need to test my localized application. When I creat russian (ruRU) version using PRC2OVL tool my English ROM automaticaly chooses English version. It's understandable - there is no ruRU-locale on my ROM. So, is it possible to change it from enUS to ruRU manualy (at low-level)? Or I need to download ROM with a ruRU-locale (if it exists)?
