Hello guys, just want to apologize in advance for being an Android noob.
I need help getting my dad's AT&T S3 to run in Chinese. I've searched and haven't been able to find a solution. My understanding is that I need to root the phone and then flash it with a ROM/firmware. Im having a hard time finding out which firmware includes the language and I'm not sure if the international firmware (I9300) works on the AT&T version. I just need the basics to get his phone with a Chinese UI and nothing else. It would be great if someone can point me in the right direction.
If you're talking about chinese keyboards, you can download them in the market. Most of them are pinyin based and handwritten ones are harder to find. If you want the language on the phone to be chinese, it involves gettig root and going into a xml files and removing the locale codes, someone also made an app that does that but still requires root,and all you need is stock firmware. It was posted in this Q&A forum a while back but you might have to go back many pages before you find it, I dont quite remember the title but it had either Arabic or Hebrew in the title.

Thanks! I want the language on the phone to be in Chinese. I'm not sure what you mean by stock firmware. Do you mean the current firmware on the phone? Or is there like a stock firmware that includes multiple languages. Could you give me an example?
Yeah, stock is the firmware that the phone ships with. Since I haven't touched any of the custom roms, Im not sure myself if the devs would add the chinese locale specifically at all. So say for my S3 on Rogers, the most up to date DLK4 if I remember the firmware code correctly. Took me awhile to refind this Language Enabler, but remember to root first.

The Rom you need is called Dandroid. It has Chinese and Vietnamese language built in. I install it for my friend who doesn't know English.

Also, do not flash the I9300 firmware. It will brick your phone.

Hello everybody, this is my first post. This may seem a little basic or not I'm not sure but I need your help.
I want to upgrade my cellphone software from android 2.1 to android 2.2 but there are several problems around there. I can't get my cellphone connected to Kies so I can't check for an official android 2.2 firmware.
I have been searching other ways to do it and I find here and in other sites Odin to install the new firmware.
I have 2 questions about this.
Does anybody know a way to make kies work? (it just said connecting but it never ends, it happen after installing an update for kies from samsung)
Why there are diferent ROMs for europa, america, etc ? I mean what will happen if I install a ROM that was build for europa in my cellphone. Does anybody know a ROM (2.2) that works fine for my cellphone in Uruguay (America latina).
Thanks in advance.

First of all Bienvenido or Welcome...whichever fits your language
Ok, now.....Kies, not familiar with it but on the ROM question...you want a WWE ROM which are multi language. I will move your thread to the right area...you'll get the help you need.
Cheers,

Thanks
Thanks very much. I'm looking forward for the kind of ROM I need. By the way my language is spanish.

Hi there, i'm from Uruguay too and want to upgrade to Gingerbread. The model here is 9000T and comes with 2.1 upgrade 1. Theres no upgrade via Kies.
I've tried the spoofing method, but i still get a "This device cannot be upgraded" (but in spanish ).
I got too many stuff installed, so i'm trying not to use the ODIN method, but for now it's the only option left.
Any recomendation?
Thanks
Hi, i have very little experience modding cellphones, and now i have a tmobile sgh t999, bought it in usa.
I just want to flash a rom frome here (not decided yet), but i dont know how to identify if it cames with spanish language (im from Argentina)
Its a stupid question, but I cant find the answer, or perhaps every rom comes with spanish too, or i should ask in the thread of the rom.
Thanks a lot
Hi guys !
I have a problem with my SGH-T999 SGSIII from TMO.
Ive got it as a gift and I wanted to use it with a different language.
Personally i dont mind to use English, but my girlfirend is pissed off when she has to do smth on my phone, and she doesnt understand my tips what to do (in English ofc).
So i was wondering is it possible to have a Polish system langage + input language support on the rom with build in root i have recently flashed ?
Cheers ! Hope to see a dozen of replies !

You need to flash to a different rom to get the language support. CM10 or Dandroid 2.8 will have the polish language.
Thanks for your reply !
Well i would want to flash a stock rooted rom with more languages.
Im more like in the HTC HD2 section and im not into SGS3 roms
Would you be so kind and tell me which rom for SGS3 TMO looks like stock and dont have those ****ty TMO stuff in it ?

Download old version blandroid 2.8. All the newer won't have the language packs.

Guys, I have been trying Dandroid and Wicked roms - the Wicked one just to check it out (it didnt have the Polish language though).
When installing the Dandroid rom I could choose the Polish language, but the system settings are still in English ...
The majority of the system is still in English, as if I used the Play Store App ...
Is there a rom for SGH-T999 which has a full translation support - i mean every language in a full version, for all system settings, icon texts ect. ?
Which version of Dandroid did you try? Is it the 2.8 blandroid like I said earlier?

Been trying the lastest one which was saying it has the multilanguage support (ver. 4.5 i gues) - it had the Polish language in the input language, so my friend could use swype typing.
You need to flash to a different rom
Hi,
Before I ask the question I would like to apologize, in case this is not the appropriate location for this thread. I tried to search via XDA search for my question but I don't think I found the answer, but maybe have a sort of an idea about it.
Basically my question is:
My friend gave me a T-Mobile Samsung S3 (SGH-T999, 4.1.1), and he was asking me is it possible to get Arabic as the system font instead of the default English?
From what I did via my research. I discovered that I need to root and install a custom rom, if I am not mistaken. Is this the only way to do this, or is there any other method of doing so?
Furthermore, can I be linked to a tutorial, or step by step instruction on rooting the device on this firmware.
I appreciate everyones' assistance.
Thank You!

Do you mean a Turkish language ROM? Apologies if I'm asking the wrong question or not answering this properly. I've never heard of this and cannot find anything on it and was wondering if language is what you meant by it.
If you did mean the language you can access it in < Settings < Language & Keyboard < Language then just find your language and select it then you should be done. If you didn't mean that and you meant an actual ROM like that then my apologies for wasting your time, just trying to help.

If I'm getting it right you want to convert your M8 into a HTC WWE version to get updates as soon as they released!?
If so you would have to follow one of the various guides in this forum, going through the procedures of unlocking, s-off, root first. In a second step change the CID/MID to the WWE standard (that would be HTC__001/0P6B10000) and last but not least flash a stock WWE ROM and stock WWE firmware with stock WWE recovery.
This is only explained very roughly what to do. For detailed HowTo's you can search this forum and will surely find what you are looking for.
If I have understood you wrong, please let me know.
