Android Simulator vs Emulator :

https://medium.com/@sarahelson81/difference-between-emulator-vs-simulator-for-mobile-testing-lambdatest-1bafd83fdd85


Simulation (Partial Implementation of Original Device) : Imitation of only software part which is  developed for Mobile in System. Ex: Any app

Emulator(Complete Implementation of Original Device) : Imitation of Complete Mobile (all hardware, firmware  & software components) in the system. Here it will take RAM, CPU also into consideration.

Appium- Desired capabilities to Change Language : Only in Simulator and Emulator : No Real Device

It does not supported for Real Devices per official Appium docs
