I would like to force a specific speech language for Google Nav; The reason is that the road names are in french where I live and the English speech engine obviously fails horribly at pronouncing them.
Now I know I can get French speech by switching my locale to French but I don't want to switch my system locale just to get French speech in one app.
I tried going into Text-to-speech settings, changing the language to French and checking "Always use my settings", but Nav doesn't seem to care at all!
Is there any way?
Thanks for your time!
No one?
Hello,
I'm experiencing the same issue.
the google NAV take the language of the phone, whatever you set in text-to-speech setting.
so the only way I found is to place a shortcut to the language settings near my shortcut for the navigation.
I hope refreshing this topic can bring us more luck.
anyone got any trick ?

Hi to all,
Does anybody know how to change UI language in Google Latitude?
Mine reads regional settings and gives me whole UI in local language, and I prefer it in english.
But there is no way to change the language.
It is so annoying that I am on the verge to uninstall Google Latitude because of that.
Thanx in advance!
Google will per default direct you to your local language. I think it is possible to "trick" it to get you an English version
Just look around at the download page, should be a "change language" option for the download.
Google Latitude
Sorry Snapphane, but you are not right.
I have downloaded Google Latitude using my computer with all english settings.
Also, I tried to change regional settings on the phone, and if the settings US, then the program 'speaks' english. When I change it back to other country, it changes UI language to that country.
I was asking if there are hidden settings (some registry tweaks, maybe) to keep Google Maps (Latitude) using english for UI.
Delete the language files that are in the GoogleMaps folder.
I had the same problem so before installation of GoogleMaps I changed the regional settings to English. After installation I deleted the language files (only kept "gmm_launcher.dll", "gmm_setup.dll" and "GoogleMaps.exe".) and changed the regional settings to my native. GoogleMaps stayed English
Works!
Thank you Bulls-eye1!!!
Well, that was easier than I thought. Nice solution m8, thanks!

Which one is the language file?
Hello people
I am looking for an app or toggle widget that makes it possible quickly to change between the different dictionary languages in the htc_ime. Every day I write in Danish, English and Italian and I find it a bit annoying to have to go into settings, keyboard language and choose the language every single time. It would be much easier to be able to change the language just by pressing one "button" on the homescreen. So if anyone knows about such an app or widget, or if someone would be able to develop one, it would be VERY MUCH appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I use english language bing map when i am outside of asia, but now that i am back i want my map to display chinese font instead of english...
I am living in asia right now, and when i open bing map it still displays in English font (like english translation of the city name or street name, ie. 台北 it will show as taipei (for those who can read chinese))
I have went into settings "region + language" but i cannot switch the display language as it is greyed out. I tried changing the region format, system locale and browser/search language to chinese but that doesnt work also...
How come display language is greyed out?? can i change that or is that preset with each mobile phone
I have an unlocked (Non-branded) HTC Mozart 7
Thanks!
Hi,
My phone language is english and my contacts names are hebrew.
I really like kitkat default dialer,
but since the dailer letters are english T9 "auto complete" doesnt work for me,
is there a way to change dailer language like in exdialer?
I would suspect if you change the language of the phone that it would automaticallychange the dialer language; I can't confirm this because if I change the language i would never get back . But no you can't just change the language of the stock dialer by itself.
change dialer language
you can do that by installing xposed and then in xposed download and install "app settings" it allows you to change locale for specific app.
if you are not familiar with xposed it would be better if you read on it a little.
im not using a nexus 5 but this should work for most phones
Have the same problem, but with another language. Locale doesn't work for it.
I'm here with the same problem

Hi! My default phone language is Ukrainian, but dialer En. How can i solve this proble?
Hi guys,
I want to add my local language to the quick dial (ex. when you type 4663 for "HOME").
I thought I should just change the system language (although I prefer the system in English) but that didn't help.
I'm talking about Hebrew, any way to add it?
Thanks a lot
