[Q] Enabling other languages? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
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?

Samsung keyboard with 'all' available languages and Swype with the most of languages
Dear Everybody, At last week I made some research for make Central Europen keyboard available for everybody especially that every people who read XDA usually use tha latest UK ROM as the most fresh, always brand new system software. The UK ROM usually contain everything as the Android system in it is multilingual and has all features for almost everybody, but Samsung Keyboard (and sometimes Swype) is different a little bit from this aspect as these 1-2 softwares depend an your CSC settings. If you use UK ROM you will lose real multilingual keyboards, as for UK these are not really needed. I'm in Hungary so I need real T9 with the latest ROM so... I made them Based on Sztupy hints on deodexing the keyboards (lot of thanks for it!) and some research between the system files I got some practice so could make my original requests. The solution: On 2.1 (example in Galaxy S) the T9 was integrated the keyboard software itself, so when you deodexed the keyboard from one multilingual 2.1, after you deleted your current Sam's keyboard you could drop the deodexed one made a restart and everything was OK. On 2.2 the T9 database is totally discrete in T9DB folder but need to use the correct deodexed keyboard software of course. (You not really need to backup your original or any ROM, etc, because you can rip all needed files in all situations from the corresponding .RFS files (factoryfs.rfs as that base system and cache.rfs as the CSC thingies)) As I have Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab also, after my research I made all available solution for myself and of course for you (on both device), if anybody wouldn't like to make it again. This/my current keyboard files made from XWJM1 ROM as the latest Central European version, and safely usable with any other ROM. One extra personal addon is that I merged the T9DB with the official NEE files to make this pack the best available. Usage: 0, to safe use you need to swith onto any other keyboard and kill the Sam's one or make a restart. (This is not a real needed step, but for smooth switch this will help you to save yourself from some scary FC when you overwrite your system files...) 1, delete all your current keyboard files with adb or root explorer. The files: /system/app/AxT9IME.apk /system/app/AxT9IME.odex /system/lib/libDioHWR.so /system/lib/libXt9core.so /system/T9DB - if available 2, copy all my files into the system folders with the same logic. /system/app/AxT9IME.apk /system/lib/libDioHWR.so /system/lib/libXt9core.so /system/T9DB 3, for smooth and safe method set the permissions to 777 (rwrwrw) 4, restart your device just for safe. 5, try to set up your Sam's keyboard if there is no input language choices then just enable T9 and select UK as input langiugage, and restart again! Wow, now you have almost all available T9 with latest Sam's keyboard in any ROM what you currently using. Languages: Bulgarian, Cestina, Dansk, Deutsch, Greek, English, Espanol, Suomi, Francais, Hrvatski, Hungarian, Italiano, Nederlands, Norks, Polski, Portugues, Romana, Russia, Svenska, Turkice, ***, Slovenscina, Ukrainian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Serbian Happy new year! (See my attachment as the keyboard itself!) Same things for Samsung Galaxy S also available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10384775 Edit #1: 1, Samsung Keyboard application is the fresh new XWJM1 version 2, As the fresh/latest ROM (XWJM1) has one dedicated Swype I ripped it from the ROM and attached to this post also. Sorry people, as the developers of Swype asked everybody to not redistribute their software in any ways, I removed it but still write some words on it: XWJM1 CSC addons has discrete Swype so if anybody courius about it, just rip from the cache.rfs and swap the original in the current system. Datas on the XWJM1 version: XXJME - 2.10.52.13753 with 11 languages XWJM1 - 2.7.49.12583 with 16 languages Languages: English US, English UK, Cestina, Nederlands, Francais, Deutsch, Greek, Italiano, ***, Polski, Portugues Europeu, Russia, Slovencina, Espanol, Turkice, Ukrainian 'Of course' there is no full sized, landscape layout yet as this is older version just with more languages... As the current original Swype has not too much languages until the developers not expand it we will not get wider list from Samsung either. (usage: just delete the original files, and drop these ones into your system. .apk into /system/app/, .so into /system/lib) Have a nice day ebola
Please list all the input languages available here.

Sorry it was too long to read and include but now in my first post...
Please explain step #3 in more detail, please. Thx.
Step 3 is just about to set file and folder permissions (what you newly copied) in root explorer to the max available writeable type. Just click on any checkbox to allow the attempt use it in any situations. This isn't the best security but this case this is not a real major problem and root not use real root file permissions to make the situations as the original:-( Hope this help you.
I just bought and downloaded the latest version of Root Explorer from Android Market, but I cannot find any such setting. However, I did not have any trouble copying the files to the root folders, so it should be fine. There is a small problem, though. Your ZIP folder does NOT contain all the Northern European input languages and keyboards. The T9DB folder should contain the following files for each language (where "*LANG*" signifies the language code, e.g. "da" for Danish, or "sv" for Swedish): qwerty_*LANG*.kdb phonepad_*LANG*.kdb Samsung_400_*LANG*usUN_xt9.ldb I've attached a ZIP file containing all such input languages and keyboards, which I've extracted from my NEE (=Northern and Eastern European)/JJ3 version of the SGT firmware (please note, that I do not know if the app and lib files in the ZIP file are deodexed or not). PS: I've just tested this, and I can confirm that it works just fine with your version of the app and lib files - I've simply copied the missing .kdb and .ldb files to the /system/T9DB folder. I'm using the Roto-JME firmware. Thanks for your help!
Just to verify, with the combination of my files and yours, I now have access to the following input languages: Bulgarian Cestina Dansk Deutsch Greek English Espanol Suomi Francais Hrvatski Hungarian Italiano Nederlands Norsk Polski Portugues Romana Russian Svenska Türkce *** (Chinese?) Slovenscina Ukranian Estonian Latvian Lithuanian Serbian
Permissions: long tap menu on any item... More keyboards: glad to see them! As I wrote my files directly copied from XWJJ7 ROM, nothing less but nothing more! (As I'm from Hungary sorry but couldn't test more as English and Hungarian but saw that there are...) If anybody could post more T9 database I'm just more happy, so thanks for it. I hope lot of SGT (and SGS in the parallel topic) owners could be happy that now we can use the latest ROMs with the original keyboard with our own T9 language. Have a nice night, bye...
Hehe. Here is how i get this to work. First i downloaded xwjj7.rar and do the step like you said in you guide. When the reboot was done, I could see that danish was available in Samsung keyboard (in my case I'm from Denmark (; ) I enable it. but I don't get æ,ø,å in my Samsung keyboard. I then tried to install the other zip file from another user with named called NEE keyboard.zip I tried to install it with the same steps, reboot. But then I didn't have Samsung keyboard in my setting anyone. It was gone. then I tried just to take the apk file from the first zip and the rest from the second zip(without apk file). Install again with same steps. The reboot, and now I have danish keyboard with æøå. I'm running roto-JME. Hope this can help someone, if any maybe got same problem like me. I have wait really long for this! And I'm so glad for this. Many thanks to both of you guys! Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
That means that the app and lib files in the "NEE keyboards.zip" are not deodexed. You should therefore ONLY use the app and lib files from the "xwjj7.rar" file. However, this proves that my file (NEE keyboards.zip) contains the proper keyboard and input language files for Danish, and that the "xwjj7.rar" file does not. tw1nz said: Hehe.

No, you should use the app, lib, AND apk files from the xwjj7.rar file, and all the files in the T9DB folder in the NEE keyboards.zip file.

[Q] ICS Localization
Hello, I have Galaxy S2 HD LTE (shv-e120k). I recently upgraded my device to stock ICS from kies. Rooted it. Since this device is only for Korean market, the language options are only English and Korean. I use apktool to decompres, use other tools like notepad ++ vs to add translations of Turkish to the apk's and recompress them with apktool again. It works fine with only a problem. I translated settings.apk, settingsprovider.apk systemUI.apk, camera.apk and pushed them to /system/app folder. After that when I use a program like setlocale or morelocale2 I can see that these programs are running in Turkish. But when I go to settings => Language and Input => Language there are only English and Korean. Also when the device reboots the language turns into English again. When I did the same thing in Gingerbread Rom the Turkish option was added automatically. But with ICS it is not appearing. I think in ICS the settings read it from a file. I could not succeed to find that file. How are the localization settings are handled in ICS? Thank you in advance.

[Q] How to add language to JB ?
Hi. I've recently bought an Acer Z5 in Netherlands. Unfortuanelly, I did not check the language pack inside, because I've thought that every phone with Android is multilanguage, no matter where it was purchased. The thing is that phone, does NOT have Polish language inside. So, the system is in English, Russian, Netherlands etc. I've trying to change soft to one from Thai countries but still no luck.. But, when doing backup of firmware, there is a file called system.img. I've thought, if I find a "system.img" with Jelly Bean and Polish language pack, and overwrite my original file, is there any chance to change that language with that way ? I mean, If I flash to my phone JB "system.img" with Polish language, does it help ? It is possible, anyway ? I don't wanna brick my phone, so I've decide to ask first ;] Maybe there is a easier way to do it ? Any Ideas ? Thanks in advance ;] EDIT : Ok. I should ask Uncle Google first. Set Locale and Language from Google Play. Install, add, forget. Way more easier than flashing entire system xD. I'm leaving this post for futhure reference. EDIT 02 : xD. Well....Problem still exist . Program does NOT work on Android 4.2... So, is there any way to add language pack into my smartphone ;] ?
