Force localization for one app?

Is there any way of running a specific app with a different localization than the system?
I want my phone to run in english. But im using Navigon for satnav and i really want the voice guidance in danish. (there is no way to change the voice in the program. I can only get a danish voice by changing the system to danish)

diggning up an old thread:
i have the same question!

Navigon work-around to change voice? Different language.

I want Norwegian voice for my Navigon GPS (as the street names sound weird in English), but I want the rest of my phone in English.
I tried renaming the Norwegian sound files to English and vice versa, but that didn't work.
I can live with the program being in Norwegian, but the best would be English everything (minus voice).
Any ideas? Thanks!

Is this in the right section?

Bump........

hello there. did you find the answer? i need it too

I've found a solution!!!
Apparently it only works if you change the language of your entire system. But sometimes you haven't got the proper language or you don't wanna change. Then you can use the app morelocale2. I've found this on another bbs.
1. Download MoreLocale2 app from the market and install it.
2.Choose your language
3.Open Navigon and it will automatically detect your selected language and use it for UI and SOUNDS.

Doubt it...

I strongly doubt this approach, morelocale2 just gives you more languages it does not fix this specific issue, when you switch to a different locale you make the whole phone change its locale, not just Navigon. The point here was to try and change the Navigon's audio language WITHOUT changing the locale.
Solutions, anyone?

have anyone found a solution for this ?

[Q] Facebook dialogs in french - cant read them

Hi,
i've recently bought the htc one x with android icecream sandwitch i guess.
my problem is that, the facebook dialogs, which are used to allow apps to connect to facebook, are in french. My phone language is german. Does anyone know how to change that, if it is possible ?

That's strange...are you sure you did not install Facebook in French?
You could try to remove and reinstall it.
Another thing I can suggest is to try installing morelocale2(you find it in the market) and select german as your language, hoping it will uniform it as the main language of all apps.

Ok i tried both methods, these dialogs are still french. Although i was not able to remove the facebook app completely. I just could remove the update as this semms to be build into the rom. Any other ideas?
I'll attach a screenshot so that u can see what i mean.

Anyone figure this out? I just picked up my HTC One X and it is doing the same thing. I want mine in English!

i noticed, that opening facebook in the browser also gives me a french page by default. You can change the language on the webpage though. Still the screens within apps appear french for some apps.

This is getting really annoying

[Q] Ok Google Everywhere? (No root)

I am trying to setup the 'Ok Google Everywhere' feature on my OPO, but I am having some problems. Under settings, voice, ok google detection, I can only select and deselect 'From the Google Search app', and I do not have any other options. How can I enable this feature? Could it be that I can't as I am in Italy? I have update 38R and I am full stock, and not rooted. My phone arrived on Friday and is brand new.

I want to know these too! I wish it could works even with the screen out... it is possible?
thanks!

As far as I am aware the Ok Google everywhere only works with the language (for google now) set to US English, still doesnt work for UK English either .
Set your language to that and the options should now be available but of course if you use Italian its pretty useless for you!

Need to add dictionary to Alreader e-book reader

I like this Alreader for reading books. It says it can use various dictionaries. I have several compatible ones, Quickdic, Free Dictionary Aabby Lingvo.
I set any of these in preferences, but when I look up a word it tells me dictionary not found. I have even copied the dictionaries into the Alreader folder.
The best I can do is go to Share, where Aabby shows up, and use that. But this is not so good.
It would be great if I could add app shortcuts to the share menu, but this seems impossible also.
Could someone help me to configure a good dictionary for Alreader?

Does anyone use Alreader?

Hi,
I too had the "dictionary not found" message despite having compatible dictionaries installed. The solution for me was to is to simply uninstall the app followed by a re install
Hope that helps
Cheers

Hi
Had the same issue, googled it a bit, found a solution.
Use "English Dictionary - Offline" by Livio. Just installed it, launched AlReader and it was able to detect this dictionary and use it.
Good luck!
