I am looking for a T-Mobile phone(preferably Android) that has support for the Arabic language. My dad needs to be able to read it on the web browser and be able to type it(which I think I already know how to do, as there are add-ons in the market for arabic soft keyboard) but I don't know how to make the websites and what not readable, so if anyone knows, please post lol. Dad is buggin me about it.

I added Hebrew support (keyboard and text recognition) to my xda, and I use also the Citipack Foldable Keyboard. The thing is that the keyboard doesn't work with the hebrew letters. I need someone to write the driver for the keyboard that make it work with the hebrew software keyboard. I have the authorization from PDAC, the firm who sells the Hebrew support to access the codes for their software for this task. if it works well, then citipack keyboards can be imported to Israel (Actually there's no foldable keyboard with hebrew for the pocket pc).
Someone interested in such a thing? Please contact me

Hi
May be also for ARABIC !!! :shock:
Why not ? they are both Bidi ..
yes, why not?
I don't know the arab market and support for PPC, I'm pretty sure the have keyboards enabled.
I would guess the fact that one is Israeli, and also sells Hebrew support probably isn't precisely a selling point in most of the Arab world today, right?
Good effort
I too use Hebrew on my device.
Again, please read the date on the last post before replying.

It's sad because the fonts apparently supports it. At least they support chinese as some of my contact have chinese name and they appear properly in the text editor.
What's really missing is the IME or a virtual keyboard

It's sad when a product is restricted to iso-latin. Even if the product was not intended for outside of the US market a good chunk of the population in the US speak and use a second language on a daily basis. Whether it's Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian or something else.
I18N is a pain, and managing different IME is another bigger one so I understand why it was postponed to a future date.
so no chance for arabic support till now
heeeeeeellllllllpppppp

this is only a half solution for the problem ... haven't tested it yet

For Arabic support: http://www.2shared.com/file/4721532/c336ef8d/update.html
It's JF1.4 (RC30) with arial as the fallback font. You can read arabic msgs and websites but no writing yet.
Same goes for everyone else: If you need your native alphabet, just replace DroidSansFallback.ttf with whatever font that supports your language.
are the letters connected too?
looks like someone made it already.. but i hope that we will be able to get it free, as it is with everything "OPEN source"

NEW app!
I have created an Arabic Keyboard on the market, check it out.
I was wondering if there was any way to add hebrew keyboard support to my HTC Ozone... I know I have to do something to the kmap or something, and then somewhere else said something about the registry.... on second thought - can someone just walk me through it step by step assuming (correctly, i might add) that I know absolutely nothing?
Thanks in advance.
anyone?
(bump)
Ive just moved to Israel, and for some reason everyones prime mode of communication here is via sms... me not being able to respond, or having to call them to answer, is getting to be a major hassle.
Please????

Hi guys, this is my first thread in XDA!
Been lurking around a bit though the past couple of weeks and let me point out how amazing this community is!
OK so here is my query (sorry if this has been posted here before):
I'm a Swede, living in Sweden. I've ordered the SNS (my first android device so bare with me) from the USA and it should arrive sometime next week.
I know that the phone doesn't come with any support for the Swedish language. My guess is that they just want to make it harder for retailers to grey import the phone to a region where it shouldn't be sold (even though it will be sold in Sweden soon...).
So, is it possible to add support for the Swedish language somehow? (Keyboard, dictionary, system language...etc).
If so, how do I do it? I've seen some keyboard apps (pre-Gingerbread keyboard) for the Swedish language on the market but some of them don't work with Gingerbread and most of them seem to come with a lot of bugs (except for Swype). Also, I would need a dictionary, and the system language is nice but not crucial.
Isn't there a better way?
Thanks in advance guys!

Hi, a swede with the NSN here as well
To my knowledge, there are no way to get native swedish language support on the stock rom. The "nödlösning", that actualy works quite well is to use a third party keybord. I'm using Swiftkey, that has a swedish dictionary and swedish text prediction.
But if someone know about a way to get a swedish stock gingerbread keyboard, I would be delighted to hear.
Thanks for the reply
I guess I'll have to use either Swiftkey or Swype. If anyone knows another solution I would be happy to hear it

well, swedish will be supported once the NXS S comes to the nordic countrys. google already posted the support of swedish lang.
I just picked up a Tmobile G2 for my mom, she gets a lot of emails in arabic and theyre not displaying correctly...
The phone is currently on 2.2.... I know how to root,etc, my G2 is rooted with CM7.0.3-i am an experienced user....
but I cannot seem to figure out how to get Arabic working... If i need to root her phone to flash a custom rom, can I get suggestions on what ROM will support arabic fonts?
Again, I do not want to read everything in arabic, I just want stuff that is in arabic font to display correctly (mainly emails and web stuff)
i think this could help you
