I have seen that the new 28/4/2010 ROM support more languages, like Hebrew, for example.
But when you change to that language, you get squares instead of letters.
It says, the the font is not supported.
So, i want to know, how to add fonts for the new ROM (The ROM project that i use) that you (xda team) have been written?
That it will help to read Hebrew...
Thanks in Advance!

Hello,
I speak Hebrew and I wanted to know if there are Hebrew fonts built-in in the Desire. I'll be glad if someone could check his device (I get mine in a few days) Is there a possibility to replace to the Hebrew language or at least set to read Hebrew fonts.
Thanks in advance,

Hebrew and other right-to-left languages such as arabic and farasi are not supported built-in in the desire unfortunately.
technically, right-to-left is supported by android, but those languages are not there built-in.
AFAIK, you can only get the RTL languages by rooting the device and either install a custom ROM that has the language, or install the language by following some steps and installing some APKs and fonts (different from language to language)

Cooked ROMs from other android phones sometimes include Hebrew fonts. Until someone finds a way to install custom ROMs I think you will be out of luck.
The Desire has now been rooted and you can apply Hebrew and Arabic fonts using the files on the following site:
tinyurl . com / desireroot
Personally, I've rooted my phone but haven't tried the fonts.

The hebrew fonts were tested and found to be ok, except the gmail.
The exchange, sms, websites are working properly.
I'm hunting for full Arabic support (fonts, and keyboard). I know I'll need to root the EVO, but honestly I don't know where I should look next. Should I look for a ROM with full arabic support built in (if so could you please recommend one to me?)? Or should I try and find external language packs and load them onto the phone? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
There are a couple of arabic keyboards in the market. You don't need root for that.
to have full support u have to root and install keyboard and language pack
I think what he is talking about is getting the fonts installed so not only can you view Arabic text messages, but you can browse the web, view emails, and any other method where there might be Arabic. Currently the keyboards on the market still require you do have an Arabic font installed.
I need the Arabic font as well!
My droid incredible is currently rooted and I have used Nils Business GingerSense which has languages other than English and Spanish like French or Italian. Are there any roms that have numerous other languages? I read that a number of rom developers remove the language features in the interest of memory but there must be another rom with multi language support?
Thanks!
What kind of languages are you looking for? What you heard is correct, most devs remove other languages for space reasons.
I am actually looking for a ROM that has Russian as a language choice. I just realized that Cyanogenmod 7 also has multi language support but I should clarify that I am looking for a Sense ROM. Is there an add on that I could flash Russian to a stable Sense ROM so that all of the menu items are in that language?

I haven't been stock in so long, does it have Russian to choose from? My guess is that if the Incredible didn't come with Russian, it's probably not ported to be in Russian especially because this phone is only available in the US.
That is what I thought at first too when I rooted but Nils Business GingerSense and Cyanogenmod 7 ROMs were able to get Russian among many other languages to be used for the menu items of the phone(not just English and Spanish that is limited to the stock). I know the developers remove the language but I wonder if can provide the option to add them back or maybe a particular language back?
Hi, I found this thread that shows how to add languages to the international version of the GS3.. I tried them on my Sprint SPH-L710 but I couldn't get the language to show..
Can anybody help me add Arabic? I would like it for the language and to be for the GS3 keyboard as well..
I'm using hackers keyboard and able to type Arabic but not liking it as the GS3 keyboard.
Thanks.

So,
It seems like Samsung has introduced a new way for supporting languages on the Galaxy S3.
If you go inside the language settings you will see a nice bunch of languages.
But! Those are not all the available languages on the phone!
There are 5(!) more languages you can "unlock" in 2 ways.
The languages are:
Arabic (ar)
Farsi (fa)
Hebrew (iw)
Japanese (ja)
Thai (th)
Vietnamese (vi)
Chinese (zh)
The easy way to enable them is to download the application "morelocale2" and add to choose or add the language code you want.
With this method you will not see these languages in your language settings.
To enable these languages in the language setting of your phone, you will need to root it.
you can use Chainfires method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1660918
The next step is to use root explorer or any other familiar application and go into /system/csc.
There is a file there named languages.xml.
If you open the file you will see a list of languages to display.
Just add your desired language code from the list above (in 2 places in the file) + country code, reboot, and then you will see that language in your language setting!
good luck!
Is no one able to help with this???
