Hi guys,
any idea how to add support on my xda 2i to be able to read unicode characters such as chinese, korean and japanese?
Use something like "Monster Chinese". Very good program.
Does one exist?
For example: my phone can see Hebrew letters. However, these letters are displayed backwards when read in Hebrew, it being a right-to-left language.
In english, it would be like getting a text message like this:
?gniod uoy era woH ,!olleH

You can read it backwards, but it gets really annoying with long messages. And it makes it impossible to type long messages as each word has to be thought of backwards.
After installing a Hebrew font, it's no problem seeing the hebrew letters, but their Left-to-right (English) coordination is where it gets confusing.
Mind you, I don't need a Hebrew UI, or Hebrew menus, just the ability for the Hebrew text to display correctly (in the right-to-left direction) so I can send and receive text messages in the language.
Anyone got a clue as to what can solve this?
Thanks in advance.
you don't need to write backwards when writing an sms.
it will be ok when received on a hebrew supporting phone.
(thats the way i've been writing hebrew for monthes now.)
try it yourself and see..

You're right, but the reading part is still a big hassle
Try investigating the arabizer techniques, but change to a Hebrew font...
The OS doesn't natively support Right to Left AFAIK.

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
somebody should help us (Arabic language speakers) to fix this G1 phone Arabic support issue ,,, when I read the roadmap and did not find any plans to support Arabic, i felt disappointed...
I can't read any Arabic text msg's nor the g1 browser is supporting arabic websites ,,
please somebody should deal with this issue seriously
Cheers and thanks,

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 am told that Android 2.2 (Froyo) supports international character sets, and can display Hebrew, Arabic, Esperanto, etc. correctly.
Could someone please confirm this for me?
Just point your browser at a Hebrew or Arabic newspaper (ynet.co.il, for example) and tell me whether or not you only see square boxes.
If possible, I would also appreciate a screen shot, so that I can see whether it handles right-to-left text correctly.
