Add language to an Android Build - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi You'll,
Is het possible to add languages to "Setting --> Language & Keyboard settings" without cooking it in to the build?
I did a search but couldn't find any other posts that could answer this question....

I'd like to know about that too.
I wanted to get Portuguese from a Vivo brazil rom and add it to Euro build. Or edit the number formatting for english.

I want to add a new language for the system not just a font. In the build that i'm using there is no dutch language available.

Anyone?.........

Arabic working in 2.2; by default there are arabic fonts in 2.2, but no shaping, so the characters appear separated, there is an app called arabization available, which is to be applied to rooted phones, it's available in google code (search for arabicandroid, as i can't post link here)

You can try for Custom Locale (I belive is in the market)
I tried, but it doesnt change the language of the system itself.
I want the whole phone UI changed to dutch language.
So i think i need to install some language pack (just like in windows or any other OS).
Thanks for help.
Then I don't know... I know there might be some file insdie the roms that allows you to use your language, but I don't know what file should be... Try to contact with a modder...

Any news on this?
Im looking for the same thing.
Download the app MoreLocale from Market
I didn't have any support for Danish language on the system itself, but that app fixed it for me

Cyanogen CM7 and international languages possible ?

I just installed cyanogen mod and noticed that , althought I can choose Nederlands ( dutch) as a language , not all is in dutch . for instance the keyboard does not have a ductch dictionary available ( so no predictive text). Also Talk is in English as are some native nexus s settings .. The stock rom I had (gri54) does have all those things in dutch ... Is there a way to get those thing in dutch to on Cyanogen ?
I do not quite unnderstand why my language isn't completely supported on Cyanogen and it is supported on my gri54 stock ..
I think you must wait cm7 team to fully translate the mod to your language. You can also make a request at cm official forum.

Hi Bandis,
I already send a request to the CM team (Cyanogen himself) to contribute in translating the modded parts in Dutch (Nederlands). That was two weeks ago. But never received a reply on that.....

okay ..but it still makes me wonder why for example the gingerbread keyboard does not contain the dutch dictionary or why gtalk is in english , or the google ad account part is in English ? these are not parts that are modded I guess ? On gri54 they are all in dutch .. Maybe it is because they use gri40 as base ?

GRI40: USA
GRI54: Europe.
Okay , so Cyanogen will never have full dutch, because they are I believe from the usa ?
Why not use european base as a standard , it contains complete english ( us and uk) as well as a dozen other languages complete ...

[Q] Arabic language support

hello
Can find Arabic language support to my SGH-T959v
I recently updated my phone to 2.3.6
the problem with Arabic language come with separate letters which is not easy to read for Arabic language reader
I found keyboard in market (Arabic soft keyboard) by using the app I can write Arabic and not separated letters
Other devises can read my Arabic letters except the Apple devises what appear to them is only squares.
I hope that find solution for this problem
thanks

thank a lot
that what I want
I can do:
read Arabic
write Arabic
apple devises read Arabic
Flash it in CWM recovery (install from zip) over a 2.3.6 ROM.
It should work.
Sent from me
it's work fine
However the Arabic letters does not work 100% it's work about 95% which is fine
hopefully they fixed next ROM
Thanks a lot
Hi ksa
Maybe you should consult joseph.90, who speaks Arabic, if you find something I missed I'll add it.

Thanks in advance
P.S- I hope brazillian people dont fell ofended, nothing against them

have you tried to search for the english version over the market? if yes and couldn't find it...try to search for the application over the laptop for example "IMDB.apk" and when you download it, move it to your SD then enter the file manager and find your target then run it and it should get installed and run smoothly.
I think it is a combination of your supported device language and language of the app. You can try this app: "Set Locale and Language" by brucedior (note, I have never used it). But that is my best guess, sorry.
good Luck

getting the app to run in Arabic requires the app to be created in Arabic language and the phone to contain Arabic package.. the Apps market contains a lot of apps that run in different languages and 1 of these languages is Arabic... i downloaded several times apps that were created to run in Arabic language
