Hi,
I've been searching for a way to change the fallback locale in Android, and found nothing at all so far.
So, The phone is set to a particular locale, say Catalan. Now, whenever an application is launched that isn't translated to said language, the phone will fall back to english, and display everything in either catalan or english.
The question is... is it possible to specify a different locale for fallback? say... German? So the phone would try to display the application in another language before falling back to english.
I'd love that as well.
However, I'm afraid that the fallback language is an app decision.
If your locale is not supported, then the app chooses for you.

I'm running Nitro's rom (excellent btw). For some reason the IE browser has decided that I should get all application strings in French. My locale is set to Belgian (Dutch)! Phone GUI language is kept on EN-US, so why on earth does this silly program decide that I should get a French interface? Worst of all: I can't find any way to change this. Any help appreciated
Dear, I have a problem, buy the HTC SURROUND and wine in English ... I pass it on to Spanish and not find a way.
That is to say that going to Settings and change the display language is not used any other language that is disabled. I have read that at & t remove the other languages ... let alone the English ...
There is some possibility of installing the Spanish language?
There is some rom in Spanish?

Hi,
You might want to ask the guys who are active in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971
I imagine that the option for other languages has been disabled in the registry and so it will be a matter of re-enabling it. However, I don't know where the key which houses that value would be located.

Can you scan the regIstRy and check if you find keys for spanish? If so spanish can be present and i can look for the number of the spanish language and you can try to type in this number for the current language registry key. But if there are no keys for other languages in your registry im afraid they just removed all multilingual support (which is really dumb/criminal if you ask me and says a lot how close minded and worldstrange the folks at tmobile are...)

where in the phone regIstRy you look?
I have a Viewsonic GTab running Flashback 10.0. I believe it is Android 3.1.
I travel a lot and find that lots of apps use the language of the country I am in as the language displayed. I assume it thinks because my IP address is in China or Thailand I want to see the local lingo when I really want to see English. I have adjusted the settings so my preferred language is English.
How can I set locale so the IP address is ignored and my desired language is shown?
I have looked extensively and found nothing that helps.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hello,
I've purchased an HOS from a retailer in Romania. I've received a device which was intended for France.
No biggie, but I'm not able to change the system language - I have only English (France) as a viable option.
Is there a way to change the "country" of the device ? I'm not interested on the Google Play market, but rather the device "ID".
I really need you help to point me in the right direction...
So when you started the device first time and the guide came on. You couldnt choose anything but english?
I could choose from Deutch, English, Espanol, Francais, Italiano, Netherlands and Portuges.
No Romanian whatsoever.
If I go to Language and keyboard, the language is reported as English (France).
I got same, my phone is also from France...
I think it should be possible to do so somehow, as the soft should be same for all devices.
Please see my post HERE it'll get you fixed up.
Man, it worked like a charm.
Don't really understand why wasn't available from the initial selection.
Greetings and recognition upon you.
Glad to help.
Hi. Last year my mother bought for herself a Vodafone smart 3. She's happy with it, but the issue that she has with the phone is that she can't change the language of the phone to Ukrainian (She's Ukrainian) because the phone only has English and Spanish. I have tried apps like locale changer and even an app that allows you to change the language of a specific app. All of them were useless, because they changed the language of the apps to Ukrainian, but, the system UI changed to english. Maybe someone knows an answer to solve this issue, thanks for reading my issue.
