Greeting, I am expecting my ACE coming weekend, with full eagerness. Anybody managed to replace font files for this release to support Arabic language.
Hi. Its support Arabic but don't have rtl support yet. We need root for that...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
You can use a program called 'Mirsal' in the meantime. It can read and write arabic text messages and it supports RTL. You do not even need root to install it!
For some reason it is no longer on the Android market, so you will have to google it.

I don't know about numbers, but on my friends HTC Wildfire it can read and write arabic from right to left fine.
Appreciate your reply, however, the app [Mirsal] is just a workaround to the issue. We would like to incorporate the Arabic fonts natively on the device, like what was done on the Nexus One scenario. Actually latest news on N1, they added the Arabic support part of Cyanogen ROMs
Even if someone builds CM6 for the DHD, you won't be able to flash it, since we don't have full root

Why don't you wait for it to hit the middle east? HTC said this so that costumers will get Arabic support unlike people who will buy the phone outside which won't be supported.This was a response from HTC MEA to someone who was planning to import the phone from UK

all the issue with the language was misunderstanding.
the froyo and the DHD is sopport hebrew and arabic fonts,
so we can write/read or see websites, sms and users in our language.
i issue is RTL support that missing, for exeple - if we writing numbers
we will see it up side down - 1234 will show as 4321 and so...
mind me for asking, cant we implement RTL VIA RUU like mentioned here?

again and again and again - same answer.
yes it support Arabic front but he don't have LTR.
I'm not sure if this is relevant or not - especially as I'm not using a DHD - but on my Xperia X10 (UK generic 1.6) I use Handcent SMS. My girlfiend is from the UAE and I sometimes send her texts in Arabic and Handcent seems to support both Arabic font and RTL.
So maybe try Handcent SMS (available free on Market).
I appreciate I could be way off the mark here though so apologies if I've caused any confusion.

Froyo supports displaying the Arabic characters but not reshaping them.. so in case you are viewing Arabic text all the letters will be disconnected and not RTL.. hard to read.. in Hebrew as the letters don't need to be reshaped/connected it displays it fine but will get the reversing problem if a number is inserted.....
so the answer for the Arabic is no..
check this thread for a temp solution

Arabic now is supported by @alsanad
My DHD, bought in Canada, reads Arabic RTL the only problem is that the letters are disconnected. Supposedly Gingerbread will sort this out, whenever it hits the DHD that is.
if you have root you can flash CynogenMod 7 gingerbread and it has full arabic support with connected letters
that's the only one i found so far.

Did anyone find a Hebrew support package that works on the Touch Pro2?
I tried Eyron, PDAC, Paragon (LEng) and badnimits but non of them seems to work
With all of them I tried the basic support without UI translation but still no luck.
also looking...
for the hebrew support
Same, Need help =D...
Rbroudo and Coneman23.
add me at MSN
[email protected]
let's try and sort things out together...
OK, We have a winner !!! OSM is the man
After HR. I installed:
1) OSM Hebrew package
2) AEKMap for with the updated TP2 Hebrew layout for hardware keyboard support
3) Finger Keyb for Hebrew soft keyboard support
Almost everything is working great & the device response is hardly effected.
Two things I have noticed:
1) Known issue - Opera is showing Hebrew LTR
2) In text messages I receive sometimes digits are displayed in Arabic I guess this is font dependent
didn't get it, if you're looking for FREE hebrew - why check out eyron & pdac!?
anyway, I tried the PDAC with the registry changes I directed you to before at pocketpcfreak - and it WORKS !
second, just TODAY i recieved an email fro EYRON's support saying that you can download a trial version of hebrew FOR TP2 from their site.
wanna try it out ?
Yep why not

Its not so much the "free" as finding a light Hebrew support.
Coming from the TYTN with its challenging memory configuration finding a light Hebrew support made HUGE difference.
Today even though the TP2 has much more memory I don't see a reason waisting it on something as basic as reading and writing in Hebrew.
ok, here we go... i'll try my best:
go to
HKLM/software/Tegic/eT9/XT9suportMSSip and change the value to 0
then, hop over to:
HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/control === here you need to change 2 values:
the first: layouts/e0010409/imefile change the value there to windows/compime.dll
the second: layouts text change the value there to COMP IME
reset and you're ready to go !

hope all is clear...
I didn't find any TP2 version on Eyron's site.
And TBH, I dont give a **** ^^..
The free hebrew package that is offered above in this thread is way better, doesnt slow down your device, and is compatible with everything

Eyron Hebrew for TP2
OK, I installed it, it looked good at first, and is OK in general, BUT:
Caps shift/lock is disabled on hardware keyboard for english typing, and the cursor is a few spaces away from the place that it should be located when typing an email (again in english).
Now for people that don't use english a whole lot, these problems may not matter that much, but for me they do...

also tried - i can confirm all of the above.
also - if you have the regional settings set to hebrew the eyron will not let any .net cf based apps work ! you must change to english.
btw- p.d.a.c have released a .cab file to fix the "fun" button problem with the hardware keyboard.
in short, seems the free hebrew support is better than the rest but does anyone know of fixes for the mentioned problems ? i.e opera ltr & arabic fonts instead of digits ?
Good for start...

Is there anyway of combining the FN key with another key for the AEK language toggle?
Hi;
I wanna to buy my first smartphone.
and after some researches I aim at HTC Desire and HTC HD2.
another notice is that my language is Persian (Farsi) and It's a right to left language. Does HTC Desire support my language plus English?
As you Know in a web cruise. We face to a lot of languages so it's better that they seem correctly in phone screen
Is there anyway to solve this problem with Desire OS (Android 2.1)
And should I Buy HD2 instead of Desire? Why?
Also PLEASE CONTRIBUTE IN THE POLL
Regards ...
A google search says it doesn't, not without installing it anyway (you need to be able to use ADB to do that).
Having said that, I'm pretty sure I have arabic in my settings menu (which google search also says isn't avaliable) =/

Hi,
regarding your poll, I think the HD2 is too big for a mobile device.
regarding the Arabic/Farasi support (and all other right-to-left languages), ... Google android does support this (right-to-left rendering), but it does NOT show those languages by default (natively) meaning you cannot read Arabic characters (by default) in Web/SMS/emails, .. etc
however there are some Arabic developers that made that happen in android 1.6 and I believe they will work on it for the android 2.1 also.
check this post
https://sites.google.com/a/ut.utm.edu/arabic-android/
http://blog.amr-gawish.com/39/arabic-language-in-android/
If you are not very familiar with rooting (and do not want to be ), and you HAVE to HAVE Farsi in your phone, than go for the HD2, buy it from your country so it would come with Farsi by default.
BTW, in Google android issues, the number two ranked issue on the Android list is "arabic (and other right-to-left) language support for android". many people are asking for it.

Very Thanks Dear Irkan
I want to know more about rooting and Its manner If you can please ...
And that Is rooting possible for android 2.1 now? If it isn't ; so what's the duty ?
Thanks a lot
well, .. it is possible (the Nexus one has been rooted) but i think (and many other think the same) that the Desire rooting (even though that it has Android 2.1 as Nexus 1) the procedure of rooting might be a little different, but it will happen when the device reaches the developers. and we are going to find out.
My best answer to you is to wait for the device to reach the devs here (probably 2 weeks from now) and see when the device is rooted, after that you can safely order the Desire, and follow the procedure of rooting the desire and then apply the Arabization (and Farsi-zation if I may add)
check this thread
Arabic/Farsi Language on nexus one.2 March 2010
the procedure of Arabizing the desire will be almost the same as the Nexus One (more or less), but the rooting process might be different, thats why you should wait and see how exactly the Desire is going to be rooted ...
Thanks Thanks Thanks Dear irkan

Thank you very much,
But why will it void the warranty as it legal?
and Do you know that I should ask who (specific developer) to add 4 letters to Arabic languages to become Persian?
Thanks a lot
It will void the warranty because they need a scapegoat They need something to point to if your phone breaks, so they don't have to fix it for free Plus there's the off chance that you actually do break it by doing something root-related

As HTC Desire was rooted ; How can we add Farsi/Arabic language to it?
Is It completely similar to add Arabic/Farsi Language on nexus one ?

I don't read arabic (i can barely read and write English, i grew up in south London....!) so i wouldn't know if it's working right or not, but i've heard it's supposed to be quite good.
EDIT: turns out it is for SMS only. Sorry.
Hi to all,
I got my desire last week and I am still finding out what all is possible and also what is not,..
so to make it short it is not possible to read any sites or mails written in farsi which is written with the arabic alphabet and from right to left.
on my last device the HTC Touch Pro (WM 6.5) I hade to install the font and implement it into the system so I could read and write latin and arbaic.
now reading a few posts and also googling the issue it seems to me that apperntly one has to root the device to install such a support on an android device.
my question is if that assumtion of mine is correct?
I realy don't want to root my device only because I have to read som farsi stuff on it but on the other hand I realy do have to read a lot of mails during the day.
thx
s.
Why don't you contact the HTC customer support?
Because your device only has support to the areas where he was sold on :S
I don't care if my device has ony support in theas areas,
the desire is not the cheapest mobile around and also targets at busniss users and journalists, and there for should support the read and wrirte in different languages specialy in thease globalized days. I am not asking for getting an Farsi device in germany but to have the abelity to read letters that are used by much more than 1,6 billion people.
every PC, windowMobile device, Linux macheane has this support with two or threee clicks.
it is a shame if that is not possible,..

Hi guys
It's been nearly 10 hours since i start searching in this great forum and around the internet for a solution to enable on my HTC desire to read arabic, and i finally came a at this page which will resolve the issue until we have an official full Arabic support from Google or HTC.
What you need is 2 things :
1 - Mirsal
http://android.azizus.info/?page_id=4
Application to let you read SMS in Arabic
2 - Ibrahim Keyboard (same great developer)
http://android.azizus.info/?page_id=20
Once you have both .. you'll be to read/write Arabic on your device.
Hope this can help your problem
Long live XDA-Developers
edit: if moderators can edit the subject into ( solution to read write Arabic in htc desire ) it will be better to help newbies.
Thanks much, greatly appreciated! (I'm still learning the rich language)
EDIT: still only recognizes Arabic input/text in SMS. Anywhere else and the language just shows up as boxes.

Hi All,
I've got a brand new hTC WildFire S, I'm feeling like I moved from a country to a country, I'd a Tytn II first ages ago (WM) then a blackberry and along with now, I'm having this WildFone , the fone is nice, battery is ok, moving apps to sd improves the memory situation...
I just don't want to take risks, does anybody have an idea about how to make the Arabic Keyboard visible like the English one (like the IPad or something, there is a button like "Earth Planet" beside the Space Buttong ?
Especially, I bought it from Egypt and it's Arabic Enabled...
Simply you can long press the text field on phone ans select INPUT METHOD and then selected desired keyboard.
That was very useful...I've been trying for 3 days to work it out
Same issue, didn't work
Hi, I've just got a brand new wildfire S as well, but from the UK. It has 2.3.3 installed. I've searched the settings for international keyboards and arabic is not there, and when I tried the solution above (long press the text field) it didnt work.
Is it because my phone is not arabic enabled? When I receive text from family the arabic is shown as separated letters (arabic letters are supposed to join always). Are Egypt phones different from UK phones? How is your phone "arabic enabled" and is mine arabic enabled too?
Thanks in advance.
actually as your phone is from UK you will not be able to get the Arabic ROM for it which will make the Arabic letters connect any how if you can S-Off it you will be able to put an Arabic ROM on it otherwise no solution for this.
