Additional Language Installation

Hi,
I got a Desire which has only English and French language support.
HTC told me that even they are not able to add additional languages, since Android is setting the language according to a specific file in the file system.
So if you are installing a new firmware, only the selected languages are installed, even that all languages are included in the firmware file.
My question now, is it possible to add additional languages, or change the file that with the next firmware upgrade additional languages are installed?
Thanks

Add more locales to stock rom?

Hello.
There are apps available that allow you change system locale and by doing so whole interface switches to the selected locale. This means that all these languages are already in the rom, so why don't they appear in the settings -> languages selection?
How can we add more available languages without need of 3nd party app?
Thank you.

[Q] Add new locale to UCALJ3?

Hello,
Due to limited number of languages in a stock rom, I'd like to add my one.
As far as I understand I will need to add my own locale string resources to each APK to support specific locale, that shouldn't be a problem.
The main problem here is how to add locale to the rom itself, I mean - to be able to select it from the Language settings menu. I've found number of replies that advised to add specific locales to /system/csc/languages.xml however I don't see such file here...
Any help really appreciated
P.S. Please don't advise to change ROM to CM/AOKP/etc it lacks a number of features I need.

MoreLocale 2 allows you to set-up your own locale. It's a critical install for every phone of mine.

I've already tried MoreLocale 2, it only sets current configuration as chosen locale, but it doesn't add it to Language settings menu. If you change your locale back to english, you won't be able to set up locale back to your one without MoreLocale 2...

Ack, sorry I wasn't able to help then :\

[Q] How to add russian language

Hey guys, my dad bought the t700 few days ago, and its impossible to change the language to russian. He doesnt understands english, and the only available languages are english and different asian languages...

I have the lollipop Saudi ROM (only cause it has latest changelist) and it seems to have Russian. I would suspect all XXU ROM to have Russian. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list though. Because it's not written in ascii, it is sorted below all other languages

Is flashing a different region the only way to get access to other languages? Would I be able to get Norwegian on US tablet using the Cellular South rom?

You could add the desired language to the language.xml under system/csc/ but you need to have root access for that. Display and input languages can be added/enabled. For Russian you would have to add ru_RU for example.

I'm using Locale Pro app. You'll need to follow the instruction they have when u try to change language. Worked for me. At some point u will need to put yr tablet into the development mode by tapping on the Build number seven times.
