General :: How To Add Languages To Android Phone
Dec 30, 2013
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.

I recently purchased a Desire from China, and have gone through the setup.However I want to find out if there is any way to get rid of all the Asian English languages and put Australian, British and/or US English onto the phone, as when it asks me which language, it doesn't show that option.Is there any way to install these languages onto the phone?

I'm using dsixda to slim a rom for my desire (Oxygen 2.2.2, AOSP). I've deleted all the unused apks, sounds and replaced the stock launcher (gaining 20mb for the system partition). The last thing I have to do is to delete all the languages from the system beside English (UK). Which file do I need to delete?

is there a way to have voice recognition so that we can use it for writing sms in languages other than the custom ones like Greek? I bought Cyberon voice commander but it wont write sms and I am asking if there is a way to use the Cyberor's language engine with Google's Voice Search or Vlingo? I tried to set it on the voice recognizer under voice input and output settings but nothing!

I 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)?
Screen os from ics decompiler, and this is what came in cmd using apktool, when I try to install framework-res:
W: Config flags size > 36. Exceeding bytes: 0x2000000.
W: Invalid config flags detected: drawable-nodpi-v8-ERR0
W: Config flags size > 36. Exceeding bytes: 0x2000000.
W: Invalid config flags detected: drawable-v8-ERR1
Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException: Multiple resources:

I have a lenovo a690 that I would like to add Vietnamese to. I have tried morelocale2 but it doesn't really translate much. If anything could show me how to decompile the framework res and the settings and then somehow add the language module into the apk and make a zip file for it.
I know basic adb commands and have android SDK set up...but that's as far as my knowledge goes.

It seems there is a general voice search / voice recognition issue with non-english languages. The problem is basically that punctuation is written in plain and not recognized. It seems to affect a number of devices (if not all?) running ICS / JB.
So period will write "period" and not "." .
Same for comma that will end in writing "comma" and not ",".
(this of course in each different Language)
This basically makes the voice recognition totally unusable and useless for anything but English. So far, this issue has been reported with the following languages:
French
German
Spanish
Italian
I'm not allowed to post links yet but if you go to Android official project page, in the Issues and search for punctuation, you'll basically see all those.

I want to create a light rom for my RK2818 tablet. I removed lots of apk's, and it works fine. Now, I want to delete the unnecessary languages and dictionaries from the keyboard (LatinIME.apk).
How can I do it? Can I simply remove the folders like resaw-da with Total Commander (compression set to 0)? I want to keep English and Hungarian languages only.
I'm also interested in more tips to speed up this unofficial cyanogenmod 2.3.7 rom, because this old chinese tablet with 256mb ram is only used to watch movies and browse the internet. I've already updated the hosts file with the adfree version, and removed the following apk's:
ADWLauncher.apk (replaced with LauncherPro)
Bluetooth.apk (no BT in this device)
Calendar.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
Camera.apk (no cam...)
CMStats.apk
CMUpdateNotify.apk
[code]....
Can I remove any of these? I want to remove everything wich is not important.

Currently I'm running SlimBean 4.2.2 on I9000, which probably stripped the stock keyboard off most languages.I came from CM10.1 in which gesture/word suggestion typing worked in all languages.I was wondering if it is possible to add additional languages manually? Or maybe take the complete android stock keyboard out of the CM zip file and install it in my ROM.

I 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?

By running $DONUT_SRC/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- gcc --help I get (among other things) "Permissible languages include: c c++ assembler none". 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.

i'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?

Is 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.

From 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?).

In theory, Dalvik executes any virtual machine byte code, created for example with the compilers of
AspectJ
ColdFusion
Clojure
Groovy
JavaFX Script
JRuby
Jython
Rhino
Scala
Are there already working versions of bytecode compilers for Dalvik available for other languages than Java?

If I run my android application with htc magic with locale English. I find my application running properly and if I find to run it on Motorola droid with locale Korean, I find even my application(apk) cannot be installed on the device. Do android support different language? Is it because of different language OS version?
