[Q] language for voice search - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

on my old phone -HTC tattoo- I had romanian language and I would like to instal it on my nexus. the thing is my searches on google got me nowhere! any ideea about what can I do?
I sometimes just wanna voice dial a number and I get all sorts of results, for example I said "eu cosmote" and the phone understood "you should suck this"!

Did u try to change settings in voice input&output? Personal recognizer?

i did that, but I don't have romanian there! i was asking for a way to mount a language pack that contains romanian language!

[Q] Unable to change language of voice composer

Hy all,
I really enjoy my NxS but I'm unable to change the language of voice dialer. When I go to select my native language on the phone setting (recognition language), it's work with every vocal item (like search) but the voice dialer still stay in english.
I've not find solution on forum : I've read to reselect language but it is useless for me.
Thanks for your answers. Cheers

Google Translator update 2.4 no longer works as a dictionary????

Today I installed the Google Translator 2.4 update (released yesterday 30 May) and... it's ****ing ****!!
I don't like the new UI but that's not the problem, the problem is that the definitions found for any given word searched are MUCH LESS detailed!! And the most important issue is that it seems to no longer works as a dictionary!!!!
Example: (I am Italian) if I search the English word "house" it's translated into the Italian "casa", if I set both the source and destination languages to English it used to give me a detailed definition (in English) of the word "house". No more!!!!
Unless I am doing something wrong Goggle Translator has just gone from one of the best online Translator (the one I used on both my Note and my Galaxy Tab 10.1) to an almost useless piece of crap!!
Waiting for what happens next, I have restored my backed up old version of Google Translator...
Any thoughts anyone?
I cant see any difference...everything is same like before update,exp.UI. Or I don't know what do you mean...
See scrn.
Yeah, except for the holo theme, I can't feel any difference either. Or maybe I just don't use it as a dictionary.
The old version has a setting (which translated from the Italian sounds like "Complete Dictionary") which was not checked, by default. You both probably hadn't that checked (and the new version has not this setting anymore) and I think this is why you are not seeing any differences.
Look what comes up translating from English to English the word "house". Try it on the new version, all you will get is... "house".

Google Now and other than English on stock ROM

Hello,
on the stock Jelly Bean ROM, for now for Google Now to be able to speak, we need the Xoom to be set in English language (both the Android menus and the Google Now language).
If we choose French or Spanish as the Jelly Bean language, and change the Google Now language to French or Spanish, then Google Now does not speak anymore.
As the stock ROM does not have the "download language pack" button (anyway, even with custom JB ROMs including this button, I never heard a Xoom speaking any other language than English, is it possible on custom ROMs ?), does anyone know if and when Google planned to add other languages for Google Now to speak other than English ?
Thanks

Google Now will only speak if you choose english. It will not speak if you choose another language.
So my question is : does anyone know when Google will let Google Now speak other language than english ?

What's strange is that I couldn't find any information about that nowhere. Just like if only english speakers are using Google Now, and the rest of the world does not care ...
I really don't understand ...

[Q] Xperia J CM10 non-english voice actions not working

Hi all,
My Xperia J has CM10 installed in English, and voice recognition set to Italian.
Whenever I try to issue voice commands, I only get web searches instead.
Examples:
"Chiama Carlo" ("Call Carlo")
"Guidami a Piazza del Campo 1 Siena" ("Drive me to...")
all of these, after having correctly identified the words I spoke, go straight to web searches when I issue the commands in Italian. If I switch the voice recognition settings to the default English, and issue the same commands in English, they get recognized as commands and I can successfully call Carlo / get driving directions to Siena.
I looked everywhere but couldn't find any other issues similar to mine, so I created issue 1865 on freeXperia's issue tracker (forgive me but I cannot link to external sites yet )
Another test I'm thinking about doing is setting the global system language to Italian and see if voice actions in Italian work.
Can anyone else whose system language is set to something different than their voice recognition language confirm or deny this issue?
Thanks!
also: first post!
update: when setting system language to Italian and voice language to Italian, voice actions work halfway: they identify the "call" action but are not able to identify contacts bein called.
For example, if I have a contact named "Mario Rossi" and I issue voice command "chiama mario rossi" (i.e. the Italian equivalent of "call ..."), the system will issue a call to the nearest business whose name matches "mario rossi", but will not call my contact.

Changing only the "Phone" application language

Hey, so without further ado i'll just describe my problem.
I just got my S6 edge and everything is perfect, except something that might seem not important but really irritates me:
I'm from Israeli, so obviously my mother tongue is Hebrew and so are my contacts.
I'm used to call using T9 method, the problem is i'm also used to English as my interface language, can't stand the Hebrew because it also changes the interface directions and confuses me a lot.
The problem is when my phone language is English there are only English letters on the dialer pad, and it doesn't allow me to look for a contact in Hebrew.
I looked for a way to add or change T9 language without any luck.
On my previous phone (S4) i used an alternative dialer, Ex Dialer, which was great and allowed me a lot of options, including adding a T9 language.
I would use it again now but I'm really not interested in rooting my phone, after rooting and too much flashing practically ruined my S4, and without rooting there's a problem that prevents the Ex Dialer app from cleaning unanswered calls and i have to open the stock Phone app each time I missed a call to clean it.
I'm looking for a way to use the stock dialer but change its language to Hebrew without having to use Hebrew as my main language, or any other alternative solution.
Thank you.
Anyone..?
A lot of time passed and i can't find a solution to this seemingly simple to solve problem... Anyone?
