View 2 RepliesI am playing with the Android TTS engine. I am trying to set it to speak in Spanish from Mexico, rather than from Spain. I have tried several combination's of language code / country code but I have not been able to get anything by Spanish from Spain. Here is my code currently
loc = new Locale("es", "MEX");
myTts.setLanguage(loc);
say("Hello");
I have also tried ("es","US"), ("es","LA"), ("spa","US"), ("spa","MEX") with every combination that I can think of it is showing me this in the log: TtsEngine::setLanguage found matching language(spa) but not matching country(MEX). loaded es-ES successfully. I can exit my app and open up the TTS Service Extended. If I set the language to either Spanish[es] or Spanish-Latin America. Either way when I hit 'listen to preview' I get "Hola" which is expected. But from my application I get "Heyyo" instead of "Hola". Can anyone see what I am doing incorrectly to set my language?
Is there a way to get the application label in different languages according to locale? For example, I can get the application label "Settings" of package com.android.settings in English, "Ajustes" in Spanish.

Is it possible to include other languages like Fortran? I can't find the source files to the toolchain such that I can modify the GCC- configuration to include something like --enable-languages=c,c+ +,fortran.

View 4 Replies View Relatedi'm pretty happy with the stock keyboard on my HTC DESIRE but i get really annoyed that there is no fast key for switching between the input language. i live in sweden and write often in either swedish or english and would like a keyboard that has a button on it somewhere for fast switching between these two languages.
as it is now, i go into options and select the language which is not so bad to do once a week but its a pain when your switching 10 times a day. and why do reviewers say the android keyboard is no good and always praise the iphone one? is the stock keyboard really that bad? whats a good alternative?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to find dynamically what are the languages supported by the application? For example, I have strings for the following languages: English, French, Dutch and German. They are defined in their corresponding res directories: values, values-fr, values-nl and values-de. I want to give the user the possibility to choose between them and for this I want to load them. But I don't want to hard-code the choices. I tried to use: getApplication().getResources().getAssets().getLocales() But this method returns all the locales the phone supports.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFrom what I've read, speech recognition is available for 3 languages: English (UK, US, Au ..), Japanese and Chinese (Mandarin). Does anyone know more details about how to switch between these languages? Is there a way to know (programatically) which language is active for speech recognition on a certain device? (maybe in Japan the only have Japanese ... but can I get this information somehow ... like a property or anything?).

AspectJ
ColdFusion
Clojure
Groovy
JavaFX Script

Are there already working versions of bytecode compilers for Dalvik available for other languages than Java?
I recently got my hands on a cheap mt6572 phone and I intended to give it as a gift, but it only has english and some Asian languages available in the settings menu, and since the person I was going to give this phone to doesn't speak english or any sort of chinese-like language, I'd like to know if it is possible to add other languages to the android(4.2.2) running on this phone. Considering that those apps on the store that supposedly add languages have already been tested and don't seem to work.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have android 4.3 AOSP keyboard, which works nice, but I want to add my language dictionary to it.
Main problem is that I have some brut.Androlib errors when compiling this one (when decompiling, no issues appear), and when I check if the APKTool added my wanted files to the apk I can only see that it almost recompiled the original file ('almost' because when I push it to the system/app dir, my system doesn't see this keyboard).
Another, less important question, can I use dictionary from another keyboard app (I guess I can, but just want to be sure)?
