How to override language to get localised string for a specific language in Kotlin Multiplatform project?

Question

I have 2 language support in my app. Language files are arranged like below:

composeApp/src/commonMain/composeResources/values/lang.xml
composeApp/src/commonMain/composeResources/values-bn/lang.xml

and inside XMLs I keep strings like below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<resources>
    <string name="hi">হাই</string>
</resources>

By using below code I am getting string but did not get any parameter of stringResource function for specific language.

stringResource(Res.string.hi)

I want to get specific language string (here Bengali language) without changing the operating system language.
