In order to get languages other than english in 3rd party applications, you would have to get the proper application versions (which are made to run in you desired language). So, there is no universal solution for this, as it's dependant on the application's developer (and if he/she is planing on supporting multiple languages).
So, not really a solution, but I hope this answer helped you understand that the applications aren't "translatable" by any system setting.

[Q] Language and Local Settings limited on GNex ?

Only two variants of English, the English (US) and English (UK) are listed under the language settings. When I used an app called "Any Locale, a switching widget", I saw way more options than what was shown in the language menu. When I selected an English (India) option in the app, the language setting in language & input reflected that change and displayed the selected language as English(India). I still cannot access half the options the app shows in the main default language settings menu. Does anybody have any input on why this is happening ? Is it because GNex was not launched in all countries that the language option was limited. Does other non-stock JB ROMs also have this limitation ? Any input on the topic would be welcome. TIA

Stock 4.1.1 and I have access to like 40 languages in the main phone settings.

Let me try to make myself clearer. There are around 40 languages shown in the Language menu, in which there are only two variants for English . (United Kingdom and United states). Where as the app is offering a lot more options for the locale, which I can set from the app, like English (India). This gets reflected in Settings -> Language & input settings -> Language, so it is working to some extent but I dont understand why I cannot set it from there in the first place. The reason I am going to such detail is because the Navigation app uses this information to set accent of the voice, but I could not set the language to Indian locale from the default menu. I am using the Yakju build which is supposed to be the international build.

That's a good question, but unfortunately I have no idea. And I didn't realize that you could access other languages just by using that app.

Digging more, I found that play store has lots of apps which support custom locales, you could combine language , country and region to create a new one, there are some which retain the setting after reboot, but yet to find one which retains the settings after reboot on Jellybean devices. These apps are handy if you bought some phone say from no-name chinese manufacturer and did not have the usual locales on them.

[Q] S Note language selection

Hello everyone,
My GN2 has been ordered from UK and I am based in US. I have looked everywhere for any idea on how to change this but am not able to find anything.
The phone is set to English US. The Samsung Keyboard has English UK, German, and Chinese by default, but they are not selected and instead I have English US and Russian downloaded and selected. Voice typing and Google Now all have English US selected and installed as offline voice data.
However, in S Note settings, Handwriting input language selection only has English UK, German, and Chinese available for selection and nothing else seems to be available.
Does anyone know a way to change this to English US?
Thanks,

I think you need to flash to a rom for your region.

It would be hard considering there is no US firmware for N7100 but the question is since in every other setting phone has options to choose multiple different languages why S Note has only 3 languages hardcoded, and if there is a way to change that.

I'm trying to switch the phone from English to Russian, not the opposite
Is there a a Russian language pack I can download? Or do I need to flash a Russian rom?

Oops. My bad.
I have never seen a Russian Language pack. Maybe google out any ROM with russian language.

[Q] How do I add Swedish S-Pen input language on a German Note 2?

I can change the system language into Swedish and keyboard works fine.. but I can't write with the S-Pen in Swedish, only works with German, English and Korean..
Is there a way I could add Swedish S-Pen language to my phone?
Btw, I have a German Note 1 and I can write in Swedish with the S-Pen perfectly fine...
Thanks in advance.

Interesting. I bought mine from my cell carrier here on Turkey and I have all the languages already installed.

Wait, what? Handwriting works for you in all languages on your Turkish Note 2?

Sorry I have misspopken earlier. The only available languages are English, French, Korean , Turkish and 2 more scripts (Arabic and Hindi maybe). Since it was for the Turkish market they might have injected it there. Sorry for the misunderstanding I might have caused.

Same problem with Norwegian language
I have the same problem when trying to add Norwegian S-Pen language to a German Note 2. Any solution in sight?
Or is it the revival of a last century problem: Back then it was impossible (!) to buy a mobile phone offering both Norwegian and German as T9 languages

I hope not, lol. Shouldn't it be possible installing a nordic stock rom on the Note 2? I'm such a noob in that regard... Will investigate further.

I live in the uk but got my note 2 from Germany. I noticed a similar problem where handwriting recognition does not work English_US but luckily does for English_UK , I thought it was a bug but it appears that you cant easily add more S-pen languages. I thought that when you downloaded the input language in samsung keyboard setting, then S-pen imput for that language would be downloaded too, but it isn't.

Not possible to add more S-Pen-Languages.
Hello,
I have been in contact with both the German and Norwegian Samsung support. It seems to be impossible to add Norwegian as an S-Pen language. I suppose, it's impossible to add other languages than those installed when buying the phone too. Sad.
