xcode - How to launch iOS Simulator in specific language from command line?

Question

I need to lauch iOS Simulator that uses specific language using command line. So I found that I can use

instruments -w <device>

and it is working great, I can set specific device. But how can I run simulator with specific language? I've tried adding

-AppleLanguages -AppleLocale

but there are some warnings:

Instruments Usage Error : Specified target process is invalid: -AppleLanguage

thanks!

To run your app must be installed and located (if not, will open default language)

Use this command to run your app with some language

xcrun simctl launch <deviceid> <appid> -AppleLanguages "(pt-BR)"

Sample:

xcodebuild -sdk iphonesimulator8.4 -arch i386 install DSTROOT=SomeFolder
xcrun instruments -w "iPhone 6 (8.4 Simulator)"
xcrun simctl install booted SomeFolder/Applications/YourApp.app
xcrun simctl launch booted com.yourdomain.yourapp -AppleLanguages "(pt-BR)"
