Yes it is. I did it you have decomplile all system apps (+additional apps if you want). and add to folder res folder with your locale: values-it.
in that folder you have to create new xml files stings.xml, sometimes others.
There are your language translations.
Then complile apps and flash rom.
There is a lot of work, you need to read a lot about how to compile/decomplie, sign apps, translate many xml entries.
Tools which can help:
APK Multitool

You can try for Custom Locale (I belive is in the market)
I tried, but it doesnt change the language of the system itself.
I want the whole phone UI changed to dutch language.
So i think i need to install some language pack (just like in windows or any other OS).
Thanks for help.
Then I don't know... I know there might be some file insdie the roms that allows you to use your language, but I don't know what file should be... Try to contact with a modder...

Any news on this?
Im looking for the same thing.
Download the app MoreLocale from Market
I didn't have any support for Danish language on the system itself, but that app fixed it for me

Apps language

hi all.
My question is, is there a way to change an app language upon install.
I give an example:
l am portuguese and if i install imdb app it will install i Brazilian Portuguese, well Brazilian Portuguese isn't portuguese at all so i would want to be able to choose to install the english version wich i prefer.
Thanks in advance
P.S- I hope brazillian people dont fell ofended, nothing against them
Thanks in advance

have you tried to search for the english version over the market? if yes and couldn't find it...try to search for the application over the laptop for example "IMDB.apk" and when you download it, move it to your SD then enter the file manager and find your target then run it and it should get installed and run smoothly.
I think it is a combination of your supported device language and language of the app. You can try this app: "Set Locale and Language" by brucedior (note, I have never used it). But that is my best guess, sorry.
good Luck

getting the app to run in Arabic requires the app to be created in Arabic language and the phone to contain Arabic package.. the Apps market contains a lot of apps that run in different languages and 1 of these languages is Arabic... i downloaded several times apps that were created to run in Arabic language

[Q] Enabling other languages?

Hi,
I'm currently waiting for my Moto G, it should come in next few days. So I want to ask you - is it possible to enable the other languages, which is normally available on the other Android devices? I mean european languages like Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian and so on...
I've found some general guide for that there, but I'm not sure, if that will work - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281254
Could you please try it or tell me the options? The fastest solution is usually to flash some other ROM with full language support by default, but this device is so new, that the custom ROMs currently don't exist.
Thank you for your help
Motorola don't plan to add Czech language even in Kit kat update
Have anyone followed the guide? I guess phone need to be rooted to follow this guide, right?

The simplest way is the morelocale2 app - with this you can see that which language is "installed".
The hardest way - translate the apps. - Previously I translated the Motorola Atrix 2 ICS & JB's factory rom and the MIUI V5 to Hungarian Language. I'm sorry to read that in Hungarian wont officially planned the distribution of MOTO G - therefore I start the Hungarian translation on Friday.
This is the method:
You need java jdk(after install you need integrate the place of the java file to the enviroment value - path) and the latest android sdk (just copied the adt-bundle-windows_x86-64 to the C:\Program Files) installed on your computer. Then you need the latest apktool.1.5.2, and the install package fromhere - coiped the unziped archives to C:\Windows
I use TotalCommander - i put the apktool.jar and the app which is need to be translateted (and the framework files) in one folder, then "cmd" comand and install the framework files first:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Then decompile the apps (67 apps has language files, for some reason the DeskClock.apk not working):
outwards:
apktool d-s xy.apk
In the decomplied folder there is a res folder in this, you need to create a new folder - values-cz (czech) or values-sl (slovak). You need to see what in the original values-zh-rCN (China is the folder I'm writing it because it was already a good starting point on the Atrix 2) or in the values-zh-rTW and you must create the same files in the values-cz folder (arrays.xml, strings.xml and plurals.xml). If there are raw-zh-rCN folder in the res folder, you need to create a raw-cz folder, and make the same files in it.
I think I will use the some quad-core Qualcom telephone 4.3 apps starting point.
If you complete one .apk, you most recompile the folder
inward:
apktool b xy (only the folder name does not have the .apk's end)
then locate the folder [dist] subfolder in there you need to delete xy.apk (this is new. APK, but it is good for nothing, because they incorrectly signed)
Now there is a folder [build] folder, which contains the [apk] subfolder, now have to TotalCommander and one side - say the left - is the original apk that smooth TC in megnyitol and in there [META-INF] + AndroidManifest.xml is copied to - its sub-pages [apk], overwriting the files that are in there - it's just right.
Now and back again:
apktool b xy
and [dist] folder now has the right to use.
if the cmd drop an error log, you need to find the errors, which is displayed on the command line.
I have just received the global GSM version of the the Moto G sold in the US (system version 14.14.16.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US), which only comes with 4 languages:
- English
- Spanish
- Portuguese
- French
This paucity of languages is just absurd.
Since it is a gift for a relative in China, I needed the phone in Chinese. Luckily, the UK ROM does include Chinese as a system language (which I discovered at http://blog.clove.co.uk/2013/11/22/motorola-moto-g-languages/), so I flashed the UK ROM following the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 .

Try to install Locale More Pro from PlayStore — vietnam language localization is present there. All apps that support vietnamese would return into vietnamese.
there are some other languages that I dont recognize in the menu, my list is not complete.
Slovenian Language
Is it possible to install Slovenian language?

[Completed] add language on5 g5500

hello
I have on5 with chinese stock rom , I try to add Persian language with morelocale but some parts like setting don't change language
what can i do to have new language in whole of my device with stock rom ?
Hi !
To add a full language to a rom you must decompile it and recompile it with the required xml files
That application it is not capable to translate everything , it has its limitations , an app cannot fully translate a rom
Cheers !
