Changing phone language - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
I wanted to change my phone language to German from English but I'm unable to do that. There's no german language installed. There's no option to download extra language packs too. Is there any way?
The phone is bought in Asia
My phone not rooted.
Thanks

Use language enabler from play store, but you will need root.
otherwise simply downlad german ROM and flash using Odin.

Galaxy W - changing ui language

Hi, I have a newbie question about android
Recently I've bought a new galaxy w. I've turned it on and figured out that it has a support of English and Malaysian language.
I'm a russian native speaker, so I would like to change a ui to russian language.
I mean not just being able to type sms in russian, but the whole ui (like application names, menues, and so on).
So, I would like to know how conceptually it can be done?
Is it just a matter of changing some locale related files or I need to install something?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, Thanks a lot for the answer and sorry for the late reply
I've installed this application, but it seems like it provides only partial solution.
I saw that some applications really were named in russian (like google maps and google play)
But it did nothing with menus and icons on the bottom of the screen (phone, contacts, and so on).
When I chose Settings -> Language I don't see russian language and I guess this is the problem. I understand that more locale application only changes the locale and its good enough for applications having internationalization support by themselves but it doesn't affect the whole UI language of the system.
The issue looks deeper than only installing the right locale.
Meanwhile I've read about different ROMs available. I'm still vague on details but can ROM installation resolve the problem? If so, what ROM should I install?
Some more details that can shed some light:
- I'm located in Israel and the phone is bought there
- Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150DXMLM3-CL1103265
[email protected] #3
-Baseband version
I8150DXLC1
- Android version 2.3.6
-PDA I8150 DXLM3 (to obtain this I used *#*#1234#*#*)
Disclaimer, I'm quite a technical guy (programmer with ~15 years experience) so stuff like rooting the phone and installing custom modes of os version doesn't scare me, I just only never dealt with android phones
Thanks a lot in advance
Hi,
After reading and learning a little bit, I've tried to root the device, but with no luck
I tried all 3 methods I've found
here
but no one didn't really work
I'm quite sure I did everything like it was explained.
In the first method it wrote me the the update.zip was installed successfully, but after the reboot the phone wasn't rooted.
I've paid attention that in logs (accessible through recovery console there are a lot of messages of type:
failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state - looks like its an invalid path.
So any help will be appreciated here
Thanks
OK. It looks like after a couple of hours I've got a root access to the phone.
Thought someone can be interested...
I've used the first method and it didn't work.
I've made factory reset (also available in recovery console) and then came across mounting option in menu.
So I've mounted everything I could there and then re-applied the update.zip. Rebooted the phone and now it seems to have a root access (I have a superuser application).
Now the next challenge will be installing the ROM with russian language native support (in android jargon "flashing" ) with Odin.
I've downloaded a firmware from sammobile.com. And planning to use this tutorial
And I believe I'll be happy with my russian language
Since my experience with this stuff now is impressive _one_ day, so
could someone point me whether i'm in the right direction at all?
Thanks
Install the latest firmware XXLM8, i think it support russian language via the tutorial how to install via odin, then u will need to use the first method to root the firmware again...thats all

Thanks a lot!
It looks I did exactly as you wrote, and it worked great
I didn't find XXLM8 firmware on sammobile, instead I used XXLM6 which is also good enough for my needs.
Thanks a lot for your help, mohza!

Motorola XT532 Stock English/Multi Lingual Firmware

Hi, does anyone have a link to, or are they willing to upload their stock Motorola XT532 firmware?
For a start, it must be in English or at least have an English Language option and also preferably include the Google Play Store application and relevant system applications for adding your Google account.
I have just bought an XT532 from China and it did have an English language option, however after trying to install a Google Store.apk and add an account, its seems to have soft bricked its' self (wont get past the Moto logo upon turning on). So I need the stock firmware so I can flash it back... any help guys?
Note: I did see another thread with links to the Taiwanese stock ROM, but most if not all of the links were dead and I don't know if they include an English language option anyway.

As for "Rooting" your 5100, go to a original development section and download "mskip" tool-kit. After that download any rom for Note 5100 which should have a language choice

Download any stock rom from your region and pull the Czech Language files from system/sipdb (zipfile) and system/VODB and add them to your current setup in those same locations.
@anees02 if you have a link to a CZ rom, id be more than happy to test. Cygwin and Win10 arent playing nice for me or id use the tar.

In fact that i want another language (Arabic language)
And i have a link to CSC file...is this file for the language?
I know a lot of developers translate all system apps to local language and add these app in a custom ROM.
Although there is a stock local language firmware but for another model.
For example :-
There is an Arabic native support firmware for models SM-N910C & SM-N910FD.
Could i pull the system languages of the above models and put it in our model SM-N910P ?

i just deleted a rom i believe that didnt have cs_CZ but did have SA. whats the link to the rom, the N910Fs are getting crazy with what languges Devs choose to include and leave out.
If you have a backup made, sure, go for the 2 files to add to the folders mentioned in the prior posts. That should allow for full language support, including settings and sub menus

So your deleted rom is a custom rom not stock?
I have a stock rooted rom and i want to add Arabic Language.
And you know there's any possibility to use system language files for other models to our model.
And about N910F models i don't understand what do you mean.
Did this model has a lot of languages list ?
Or
The developers couldn't add more languages to it?

I originally started my search for roms pertaining to CZ languages. Sammobile indicated N910F was Czech(Vodafone(VDC),OC2, and ETL)
Thats where the N910F reference came into play.
An yes, while N910F is interntional, Devs who put out roms seem to only include the bare minimum when it comes to languages(not keyboard langauges). and the Czech stock roms seem to be obsolete.

Please,help
I tried to insert these two files according to your instructions, but it does not work.
Czech language does not appear in the Settings menu.
How do I add the Czech language?

I rooted my a520w. How can I change the system language?

SM-a520w is a Canadian model of A5, and I want to change the system language (8.0) from English to Russian.
First, I've got a Language Enabler app, and it asked me for root access. Fine, after some sweating in the end of the day week I successfully rooted my device.
Now Language Enabler says: "Your Rom doesn't seem to be a Samsung Touchwiz Rom. Multilanguage feature will be disabled!"
What should I do?
- flash a new Rom? which one? other solution?
Please help! Your step-by-step instruction will be greatly appreciated (I'm not an expert, only good at following instructions)
