I've noticed this as well. Are you rooted (and if so what ROM/kernel are you on), or are you running the same stuff you had in the box?
I get the same, 100% stock unrooted.
I have experienced this on my android phone market (though it might be to do with me having downloading the new market apk).

Same here.
Same problem, on prime 1.5. Change list always seems to be in the correct lang though.
As titled, is there a Simplified Chinese firmware available for this phone, or if any ROM that contains Chinese natively?
Thanks!
i don't think there is a chinese version of this hardware yet but if the sgs language packs work (they should) then it could be ported from the i9088. gtg should know more about it, maybe checkout infused rom, I ha e a choice foe something that. looks like it may be chinese, also you can probably import the i9088 keyboard and get rid of the Samsung keyboard on the phone.
Hey thanks for the quick reply. I am not only looking for something to input the Chinese (it can be done fairly easily by install Baidu Input etc), I am looking for rom that totally (and natively) showing in Chinese, for example, Browser would be call "浏览器.

names of things are more intricate characters like what you posted. but the browser name is.not what you posted. i don't know enough about Chinese characters to know what im looking at.
i knew what you are asking, it is a matter of getting the language files from an Asian sgs phone the i9088 is a Chinese captivate and certainly has what you are asking for. it can be done but if it isn't included already but important not sure how to do it.

ahh, let me get back to this. I know there must be an answer in either the captivate section or the i9000 section. this has been asked before on those phones. its actually a fairly common request.
Yes, pretty common request. I would like to put Chinese into the phone, I heard that you can "port" the language pack from the i9000 but I need instructions, not sure if this can be installed via a .APK file, or a ROM flash is needed. Thanks and I will keep looking!
How can I make the voice search to speak the answers like in the Nexus 7? That doesn't work for me, it only does a google search..
Any help?
Not all searches will be answered with built in tts, just some pre determined ones for example weather forecast

I just discovered that if I set the system language (not the voice search language) to english it works.
Do you know how to make it work if I change the system language?
Thanks

I got very excite when I saw the news for the offline translator working. So I installed it , and downloaded all the languages I know, but it still wants an internet connection. Like, it just says "Due to a network issue, our translation service could not be reached". I'm running 2.3.7, and don;t know what else it wants! Is it working for you?
You must download the offline language package within the app

If I read properly..., that's what the guy did, so your reply is useless.

My problem is that the offline files are not downloadable from China.
So I have to use a VPN and the one that I have let's me download only 100MB of data daily. If I remember properly, French and Chinese are about 150MB each and it would then take me more than 3 days to get them... That is is I don't reboot my phone meanwhile because doing so make the download failed and the partial file becomes unusable...
The app also keeps on trying to reconnect/resume the download constantly over my normal WiFi but can't so it uses my battery needlessly...
Long story short: anyone knows where the app stores those files?
Even better: anyone could be kind enough to share those 2 offline language packages (CH and FR) on-line somewhere?
I'd be very thankful for that.
---
Edit, I read here ( http://www.techinvestornews.com/Google/Google-Bloggers/offline-google-translate-for-android) that those ±150MB files are zipped and about 200MB once extracted onto the SD card. So it should be quite easy to locate them...
Dropbox anyone? Please pretty please
I can see in Google Translate that French is 200.42MB, but can't find Google translate within the phone. Tell me me where it is and I can upload the language pack.

OK well thanks for offering this; I really appreciate it but somehow, I've succeeded in downloading the French pkg today by basically doing the exact same thing as I did yesterday...: I've started the download with the VPN and when it stopped because I've reached the daily limit, GT kept on downloading the rest of the file on my normal wifi. It was a partial success though because when I added the Chinese pack, it then just sat there at "starting download" (pic 1) or at "waiting for Wi-Fi" (pic 2) even though I had full signal (and green as Google checked-in...)...
And to answer your question on the OP, yes it (eng <--> french offline translation) now works for me on 2.3.7 (cm7). Only thing is that (as expected) the 'read aloud' (or text-to-speech) option is not available offline.
As for the location of the files, please see pic 3 for details.
And btw, French was 150Mb to download and stored under the tmp folder until GT installed it to the "fr" directory.
Tomorrow, I will try the same process with the Chinese package again, hopefully I will have some luck opnce more... :fingers-crossed:
Thanks again for the offer.

Hi,
I also live in China and was able to download the offline Chinese and Japanese language packs without the use of a VPN. Keep trying!!
Best,

I jus twould like to close this thread by saying that somehow, the offline thing is working for me right now. No idea. That's software for you.

I have a also noticed this and don't understand why.
I have installed the English and Chinese offline language packs. They work fine as long as I have an Internet connection. However, when my Internet connection is down it complains and refuses to translate.
I double checked to see if the language packs where indeed on my phone and where also enabled in Google translation (and they where). It seems like the Google Translation app still needs an Internet connection available - perhaps not for the actual dictionaries but perhaps for other issues - and when it can't connect it refuses to translate.
So what is the big deal with offline language packs when you can't translate when you are really offline??

Help I have offline files but granulated refuses to translate offline for me too. Says OFFLINE. I confirmed I have the offline files.
it's still not perfect but you are missing a crucial detail
You also need to download the tts language pack it is in your settings/language and input then tts settings then download the language pack there as well. This then almost works perfectly. I'm on holiday in France and if you have done all the downloads of languages and want the converse function to work then you need to change the input language of the phone to language (French in my case). Couldn't understand my phone! But the converse function worked. Obviously not ideal.
I am currently in China. Their goverment is so "nice" to - at least currently - block the access to anything related to Google. Not even maps works. I am trying to use Google translate. The necessary offline packages for a couple of languages including Chinese are installed. As long, as my phone is offline, Google translate just works great. If I am online it just does not work at all. If I use a VPN connection, it tries to make an online translation, times out, then finally - after about 30s to 2min - it makes an offline translation.
So I thought, ok, lets just block internet access for Google translate. I installed DroidWall, blocked Google translate and tried to use it. The surprising message I get after this is:
Translation failed - Retry - No network - Offline package files may have been corrupted. Removing all packages & then re-downloading them may fix this issue.
The only true part of that message is the statement, that there is "No network" for this app. But the conclusion is completely nonsense. The offline packages are not corrupt and as soon as I allow internet access again, I get the same behaviour as mentioned above (incl. successful offline translations).
Any idea anyone?
Google Translate in China
Hello,
I am in China and offline google translate works fine for me. I recommend: 1) You delete and re-download the dictionaries, 2) You get a VPN.....droidvpn is free and it works well, 3) If you want your VPN to work better, download setdns and change your dns server.
Good luck.
Best,
Jon

I think that you did not read correctly. Offline translations work fine, if I am offline. Google translate does not work for me, if I am using WiFi or China mobile. It works too slow, if I use a VPN connection to my router at home in Germany, whereas any other internet-service works fine.
The error message about corrupted packages appear, if I am online (with or without VPN), but block internet access for Google Translate using DroidWall.

Hmmm.....don't know what to tell you about that. I only use offline google translate in China when wifi and data are turned off and it works fine for me....never tried blocking it with droidwall. Otherwise when I use droidvpn or my personal vpn online it works fine too.....

I just tried blocking GT with my firewall (AFWall+ ... I strongly suggest you to use that one instead Droidwall. It is almost the same but newer and more options and bugs fixed. Droidwall has long been abandoned....) and it does search for connection for a long time (because blocking it does not prevent the app to see that there is network available...) and then it translates offline. So no real problem for me here.
No problem on vpn either.
On this subject I suggest the real free (DroidVPN has a 100mb/day limit and the servers are often full) fqrouter2. But be aware that vpn uses more battery. If you have an older phone, you can also try shadowsocks but I do have slight issues with it....
So finally, I also suggest you to use the latest app version and delete and redownload offline packs.
If that doesn't solve it, then I suggest you find and try either the black or the clear (one I'm using) version of GT made by TBO (Team Blacked Out) sorry no time to give you a link atm.
If anything here helped, you know what button to press...
fqrouter2
Hello,
Fqrouter2 does not work for me....it keeps giving me a "failed to lauch" error. I do recommend that you change your dns server with an app like setdns (on your pc too!....use program called dnsjumper)....your VPN will work much better when you do.
Best,
Jon

Hi Al, thanks for the hint. AFWall+ works great! Google translate now doesn't show any errors any more and uses offline translation immediately under all conditions.

Well, I'm glad to hear that you've fixed your issue with G Translate :thumbup:
Now, please learn how to thank people that try to help you (even when it doesn't resolve your problem). People do not have to use their time and energy try to help; pressing the "thank" button is really a simple matter of showing respect and gratitude no matter the outcome....
And @Jon: I've tried your suggestion about dns change and that realky didnt go well and messed up my phone (simple app to switch to Google dns with 1 click). I ended up having to restore a 4 days old nandroid backup... It was just by curiousity, because like I said, fqrouter2 works very well for my setup as it is. Sorry to hear that it doesn't for you...
Cheers,

Well, everything is possible in theory, but I don't think anyone will bother making a mod for this. But who knows?
As it doesn't even work with language setting English (UK) then I wouldn't know if it will be extended to other languages.
Obviously it would be a lot more widely usable.
I am lucky, I can have English (UK) for system language setting and set English (US) for Google voice search language
