[Q] How to add russian language - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Hope it helps,

I think you can actually install the font file and German input if there is any.
Myself, for example, is using RRE's 6.5 Rom now, and I installed Chinese font and input. Those stuff works perfect.
sorry but i think you didnt understand me, i have a cooked rom from this page and i want to know as i can switch the language file from these roms (wwe) to a german language file.

I've been trying to install Chinese Fonts and input but ended up hard reset my Tilt2 a few times. Seems all the methods that I've tried messed up the key board. I've tried installing the CE Star and that still messed up the key board.
If your method is stable, would you please point me to the right direction?
do you guys think that changing the language in the "input menu" in advanced config can be successfull in my case --> for example, i've got an AZERTY keyboard (french unbranded rhod100) and i install a wwe rom, so in, english, but i want to be able to write an A by pressing A instead of seeing it put in a Q... dunno if anybody will my idea right, bad english sowwy guys!!?
so the rom stays in english but the input has to correspond to what's printed on my hardware keyboard :S

Changing language and more language :)

Hi,
I thought this is nice to share.
Found from Clove blog:
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2010/03/23/chinese-and-other-languages-for-android/
Android has several built-in language options. To change the locale (language) that your Android device works in:
On your Android device, under Settings>Locale & Text>Select Locale, you can choose the Language setting you would like your device to use. On some devices (such as the HTC Hero), the only setting available is English. This can be changed very easily using an App called MoreLocale 2, which can be downloaded completely free of charge from the Android Marketplace. Simply download the App and install, launch it, and select the language you would like your device to use. (Note: to change back to English, you will need to navigate through Settings>Locale & Text>Select Locale and select English).
Currently, the locales available on Android 1.5, 1.6 and 2.1 are:
* Chinese, PRC , Chinese, Taiwan
* Czech
* Dutch, Netherlands & Belgium
* English, Britain, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore,
* French, France, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland
* German, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein
* Italian, Italy, Switzerland
* Japanese
* Korean
* Polish
* Russian
* Spanish

Very nice of Android!
Hi, I am thinking of getting the Desire and the only thing that put me off is the lack of chinese language.
With this app, do I have to select Chinese as my locale to enable me to read and write chinese or I can still read and write chinese with English set as my locale??
Many thanks!
I have no idea. Take that as your own risk.
You can contact HTC support and ask this question.

With my Desire, I can read chinese without issue (e.g. going to website and file name), but there is no stock input option for chinese yet, will try the more locale and see if it helps. As they said, you can always get Google Pinyin. I am still looking for a way to get Handwriting though.

Hi, Please kindly tell me, your Desire can choose Location setting English United State? and no Chiniese in put?
But can read chinese is great. How about Chinese display on Music play? it's also display Chinese?
Life Saviour!
My Desire (obviously for eastern european market) only had Russian, Slovak, Polish and Cech locale settings. It didn't matter because all were English, but sometimes I got redirected to the Slovak Google page and so on...
THX for this tip!
thanks a lot.
finally i can set to german.
not that i am not able to understand english.

Hebrew Built-in: Help required

Hello,
I speak Hebrew and I wanted to know if there are Hebrew fonts built-in in the Desire. I'll be glad if someone could check his device (I get mine in a few days) Is there a possibility to replace to the Hebrew language or at least set to read Hebrew fonts.
Thanks in advance,
Yaniv

Hebrew and other right-to-left languages such as arabic and farasi are not supported built-in in the desire unfortunately.
technically, right-to-left is supported by android, but those languages are not there built-in.
AFAIK, you can only get the RTL languages by rooting the device and either install a custom ROM that has the language, or install the language by following some steps and installing some APKs and fonts (different from language to language)

Cooked ROMs from other android phones sometimes include Hebrew fonts. Until someone finds a way to install custom ROMs I think you will be out of luck.
The Desire has now been rooted and you can apply Hebrew and Arabic fonts using the files on the following site:
tinyurl . com / desireroot
Personally, I've rooted my phone but haven't tried the fonts.

Samsung keyboard with 'all' available languages...

Dear Everybody,
At last week I made some research for make Central Europen keyboard available for everybody especially that every people who read XDA usually use tha latest UK ROM as the most fresh, always brand new system software. The UK ROM usually contain everything as the Android system in it is multilingual and has all features for almost everybody, but Samsung Keyboard (and sometimes Swype) is different a little bit from this aspect as these 1-2 softwares depend an your CSC settings. If you use UK ROM you will lose real multilingual keyboards, as for UK these are not really needed.
I'm in Hungary so I need real T9 with the latest ROM so... I made them
Based on Sztupy hints on deodexing the keyboards (lot of thanks for it!) and some research between the system files I got some practice so could make my original requests.
The solution:
On 2.1 (example in Galaxy S) the T9 was integrated the keyboard software itself, so when you deodexed the keyboard from one multilingual 2.1, after you deleted your current Sam's keyboard you could drop the deodexed one made a restart and everything was OK.
On 2.2 the T9 database is totally discrete in T9DB folder but need to use the correct deodexed keyboard software of course.
(You not realy need to backup your original or any ROM, etc, because you can rip all needed files in all situations from the corresponding .RFS files (factoryfs.rfs as that base system and cache.rfs as the CSC thingies))
As I have Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab also, after my research I made all available solution for myself and of course for you (on both device), if anybody wouldn't like to make it again.
This/my current keyboard files made from XWJM8 ROM (2.1) and XWJPI ROM (2.2) as the two latest Central European version, and safely usable with any JP* ROM.
Usage:
0, to safe use you need to swith onto any other keyboard and kill the Sam's one or make a restart. (This is not a real needed step, but for smooth switch this will help you to save yourself from some scary FC when you overwrite your system files...)
1, delete all your current keyboard files with adb or root explorer. The files:
/system/app/AxT9IME.apk
/system/app/AxT9IME.odex
/system/lib/libDHWR.so - lower or uppercase!
/system/lib/libXt9core.so
/system/T9DB - if available - just on 2.2 keyboard!
2, copy all my files into the system folders with the same logic.
/system/app/AxT9IME.apk
/system/lib/libDHWR.so
/system/lib/libXt9core.so
/system/T9DB - just on 2.2 keyboard!
3, for smooth and safe method set the permissions to 777 (rwrwrw)
4, restart your device just for safe.
5, try to set up your Sam's keyboard if there is no input language choices then just enable T9 and select UK as input langiugage, and restart again!
Wow, now you have almost all available T9 with latest Sam's keyboard in any ROM what you currently using.
Languages: (in 2.2, sorry but did not remeber about the 2.1 if anybody would like it...)
Bulgarian, Cestina, Dansk, Deutsch, Greek, English (UK), English (US), Espanol, Suomi, Francais, Hrvatski, Hungarian, Italiano, Nederlands, Norks, Polski, Portugues, Romana, Russia, Svenska, Turkice, ***, Slovenscina, Ukrainian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Serbian
Happy new year!
(See my attachment as the keyboard itself!
XWJM8 - the almost latest 2.1
XWJPI - the latest 2.2)

Good work!
I've really missed proper characters in the ROMs I've tried..
I am also looking for a missing language in Samsung keyboard.
I followed your steps and it looks like all went correctly, but as a result I have the option to change the languages, but my Bulgarian keyboard do not appear.
I am not sure if those files contain all internationalization data, as I installed the Gingerbread keyboard as well and got the same problem with it - there is Bulgarian to select, but does not appear once chosen.
I am recently trying Doc's ROMS with JPY base. Any idea?
Hi boyanovv!
I also tried this simple mod in order to get my native input language on SGS.
Had also the same problem, but after all it worked
Here is how I did (some parts may be useless, but maybe not):
Switched to Swype. Using Root Explorer moved .apk and 2 .so files, didn't had T9DB and .odex file. Uploaded modified files. Rebooted (didn't do 777). Went to settings, set input method to Samsung Keyboard. Disabled XT9, added my language to keyboard, didn't add English. Checked if it works, but didn't. Rebooted. Didn't work. Uploaded T9DB folder to /system/. Rebooted. Enabled XT9, set locale to English UK, removed all input languages. Rebooted. Added my needed languages and changed locale to US, disabled XT9. Rebooted. Worked, even russian
I used 2.2 files and I have DebusROM XXJPY.
regdude - thanx, gonna test your version.. atm I'm using the 2.1 keyboard, only I could get to work, but really preferred the 2.2.
Hi All,
Sorry for delay but I hadn't got free minutes in last days for gadgets, but refreshed the SGT pack with the latest and check this topic also. Without T9DB you will never get predictive dictionary of course but and as I tried to told you don't need .odex file as for usable for everybody I needed to deodex the keyboard software also. You just need that 4 things... The main .apk, the 2 .so and the needed dictionary files in /system/T9DB folder... with selected English and restarted device you need simply get those languages. I tried with not all but lot of them and the keys were correct and got dictionary also. Of course if you don't need you can use just those languages what you need not all but my pack contain lot of...
Hope everybody could use as I tested on 4 devices without problems. ( On Galaxy Tab I got some NEE files what missed from that ROM what I used for the multi pack, but over on it was everything OK. )
Bye...
thank you!
I can't get the one for 2.2 to work. I have follow all the steps in first post.
The keyboard pops up but I can't chose languages.
anyone has got it to work?

Same problem here.. I can set languages in settings.. but I can't slide the _ to change between the languages.. only a few are there. Another time I got it to work, my SMS got quite strange.. half my msgs got changed to Chinese, after I sent them, they were in Swedish on my phone, my girlfriend sent me some msgs back asking if I was joking with her.. lol
2.1 works, though I preferred the 2.2 T9 Keypad.
cant seem to get the 2.2 to work... or the keyboard works... but not the languages...

Same problem as me then. With the 2.1, I get at least Swedish, English and Croatian. However.. when I send SMS, sometimes half gets changed to Chinese(I don't see it, but my girlfriend was wondering what I was on when sending her texts in Chinese), I got no idea if it's the ROM or the keyboard that does it. Quite odd though.
After that I found the HTC_IME, it works quite well for me(girl don't get messages in Chinese anymore), but I still prefer the Samsung 2.2, if I could get it to work.

Hi! Can you enable all languages for Samsung Keyboard on Gingerbread 2.3.3???
I've installed this. Does T9 work. I enable it all everywhere and then try typing 843 on the t9 keypad and it doesn't change it to "the"
or any other word combo i try. Does it work for others. Maybe i'm missing something
you sure you enabled the correct keyboard?
English definitely should work, some of us that use other languages got problems, but English works for.
Also, another proper working T9 is the HTC_IME, you may wanna test it.

yea, I accidentally found it when I was trying to find a T9 keyboard for my HTC Tattoo, since it seems all devs like the gingerbread qwerty keyboard even on the low res 2.8", I tried on the Galaxy S and it worked perfect

[GUIDE] How to "add" 5 more languages to XX based stock roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684194&page=2
Posted by: firefds
So,
It seems like Samsung has introduced a new way for supporting languages on the Galaxy S3.
If you go inside the language settings you will see a nice bunch of languages.
But! Those are not all the available languages on the phone!
There are 5(!) more languages you can "unlock" in 2 ways.
The languages are:
Arabic (ar)
Farsi (fa)
Hebrew (iw)
Japanese (ja)
Thai (th)
Vietnamese (vi)
Chinese (zh)
The easy way to enable them is to download the application "morelocale2" and add to choose or add the language code you want.
With this method you will not see these languages in your language settings.
To enable these languages in the language setting of your phone, you will need to root it.
you can use Chainfires method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1660918
The next step is to use root explorer or any other familiar application and go into /system/csc.
There is a file there named languages.xml.
If you open the file you will see a list of languages to display.
Just add your desired language code from the list above (in 2 places in the file) + country code, reboot, and then you will see that language in your language setting!
good luck!
Is no one able to help with this???
