[Q] How to add language to JB ? - General Questions and Answers

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 ;] ?

As far as i understand it, you can not have two set-up, but i may be wrong.
I am 99.99% sure you can have multiple languages on one device, it is selected in the Registry.
Just search for 0409 and see where it pops up, DefaultLCID I think is the one.
Remember to choose the correct language code:
Portuguese (Brazil) 0416
Portuguese (Portugal) 0816
You need to translate all mui-Files, the html-Files and don't forget software- and hardware-keyboard.
is there any specific software that enables the editing or just a simple unicode text editor will do?
To edit a dll i guess we need a tool like VS2005 or something.But here we can find the source to compile dll??Or maybe we could use a simple editor...
Anyone with experience in this area?
Thnx in advance
you could have searched before creating a new post.... actually it's even on the first page..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305155
That link its almost written in german and only give a superficial idea how to do that...
Still looking for answers.
no, it's almost english and it' s the only called "guide for translating rom"!

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...

Do you mean change the language used in the OS? If so, a factory reset takes one back to a point where one sets up a device from the get-go including location, language, name, etc. Have not heard of anyone able to use two languages on one device at the same time though.
Be careful though. If you are on ICS, I would drop back to HC first to lessen the chance of the super brickbug borking the tab.
HTH
errr... i dont even understand the question...
Thank you for your support

A factory reset would allow you to start over and choose a language. But only one language. There are translation apps for specific items (emails, documents, etc) but when it comes to the operating system...you only get one language.

Don't believe you can do that. One language at a time.

[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.
