Hi,
Is there trick to change the default language for a single app?
I have my OS in English and I have installed a French subway application.
This French subway application is using automatically using English language because my OS is in English. I would like to have this application in French (because the English version is badly done) and there is no option to change this in the app settings. This application is normally in French, but I cannot have it in French.
I have a rooted Android phone (Galaxy S4),
Regards, Chris

This app was posted some time ago. Hopefully it helps. I've tried using these before - I live in Taiwan and the naming conventions can be monstrous. There are several variants in the app store. You might also consider setting up a widget for a quick EN-FR change over before launching the app.
Bon courage !
Best, Eric

Thank your reply, this app is not working on my Galaxy S4 unfortunately. I have Android v4.3 and this app is compatible until Android v4.1.2
"This app only works until 4.1.2, some permissions changed after that and the app is not allowed to change the phone's configuration"

Hi everybody
I got me a Mate 7 Version MT7-UL00 in Shanghai.
Everything fine so far (LTE works in Switzerland, Play Store installed etc.).
Now I still have some Chinese Apps I cannot change to German or English. Most of them I do not need (for example the Huawei Wallet). The App Center (to administrate all the apps on my phone) would be nice to have in English or German.
Is there a chance to get this changed or to download an other version?
Thx for the help!

Hi, I'm also in Switzerland and I had the same problems than you. I tried in vain to change the language of many apps so finally I just rooted it, installed Titanium Backup and I was able to get rid of all that bloatware. Since you have the Play Store you don't need the App Center anymore, do you?
The only things remaining are the chineses sayings on the lock screen. But you can change it as well.

Hi Inspecteur Gadget...
So I am not the only one in Switzerland with a Mate 7 from China
I had on my LG G3 an App Center where I could manage all the apps. Not for Downloading new apps.... but for things like turning off the notification etc. This I can do also here with the App Center. But there is still a lot of Chinese in there. No big deal but it looks just not the way I like it
Enjoy your phone!

Hi Guys, Im here in vancouver, Canada....just got one but about to root it....is there any good ROMS for it....because unfortunetely the EMUI sucks specially with all the bloatware.....also how do I add my google contacts to work,....
I'm in Australia and I have the Mate 2
I'm having this issue, but a lot of trouble rooting it... Help!
I'm really interested in this phone but should I wait for the EU version or buy the version they are selling in china
It seems ok frequency wise - https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...-dual-sim-td-lte-64gb-nxt-al10/united-kingdom
I've seen people pick international English on a menu and it looked all English - is that correct ? - even the non google stuff
Would I have to worry about anything else ?
Any help most appreciated as I want to replace my one plus one that is starting to feel under powered with the amount of tasker stuff I'm running on it
thanks

You do need to check the frequencies as you have done. The Mate 8 has allot of bands covered.
Android OS on Huawei's phones have about every language available. There is some apps on the phone that is in Chinese, but they can be removed, and are for the china market.
Google Apps will not be preloaded, but you will need to download from the Huawei App Store called HiApp. That HiApp app is in mixed Chinese and English, so not everything is translated. After that you have Google Apps, and can download from Google Play that will follow your OS language.
I have had the Honor 6, Honor 6 Plus, Honor 7 and now Mate S, all the Chinese version and they have all been working fine here in Denmark. I have had no problems with network, GPS or WiFi here or on vacation. .
..oh, the change log for OS updates are (mostly) in Chinese

Thanks for the info. But to be clear. Do you download the google playstore using HiApp?

Yes, you do.
It is quite simple: Open HiApp -> Search "Google" -> Click on the Google banner in the top of the search results -> All Google apps is listed, click the download button for each (downwards arrow).
Other than Google Play, you need the Contact sync and Calander sync apps from the list. The rest can be downloaded from Google Play Store afterwords.
I had no troubles with a P8max recently, most sellers out of China will pre-install Google Play for you. My Mate 8 arrives next Monday, can let you know of if it differs any from the P8Max in terms of language difficulties.
Hi,
I bought a Mate 8.
It come with google playstore installed.
I arrived to install all app I want from google playstore.
The only problem I foun, I can't import my contact list, but will be solve for sure.
Two of us have Google contacts sync working, although neither of us is entirely sure how (I was granting permissions/trusted status/open from other apps statuses etc as a batch, so not sure which of those actions allowed for contacts import sorry).
If your google contact can't not sync.
Do you install the google contact sync? you can find it from the "huawei app store".
Install the google contact sync apk, and remove your account, reboot, login your contact again.
It works fine in my mate8 with google contact.
I can use almost all of google service in mate 8 now. (no matter google play, gmail, hangout, contact or anyother)
But, the only problem is that I can't get the location during google map without GPS enable.
Google map can't use cell or wifi to detect where it is, but it work fine with GPS enable.
I have no idea that how to fix it...
After searching the solution from google, it seems I need to root and replace networklocation.apk....
Is there any other method? (I don't know how to root huawei's device...)
I've recieved my mate 8 a week ago, and have had the issues that most of you are talking about.
Assuming the issue is from the battery manager itself; click on the setting icon up left of the screen, you need to switch on (Keep mobile data on when sleeping).
Of course that is in congunction with the rest of the settings/permissions.
Good luck,
Just don't forget to update emui

is it fast and smooth? is the cpu very powerful?
Yes - not had any problems at all.
I'm coming from a one plus one with a few badly writtern tasker profiles (quiet at work, and home nights with auto voice and autovera stuff), 3 mail clients including a touchdown exchange one. It was too much for the one plus but my new mate 8 is still flying.
Problems I have/had
The sync thing - was mashmellow permissions and a restart. (You do not need to wipe and restart.
The app draw - not a problem just a concept change the mate 8 doesn't have one your home screens are your app draw. So its a case of being tidy with folders. But swiping up on the home screen gives you an app search.
Dictionary - wish I could figure out how to copy the words I had stored in my dictionary.
Chinese App store - keeps telling me I have 18 apps that need updating - they don't the are just wanting to change to the chinese version.
Battery life - the one plus would last a day and 1/2 if I forgot to charge it the 1/2 I would start not usjng it, mate 8 will nearly last 2 days (it also gives me stats in ma about what is eating the battery)
Overall its a great phone

I've received my mate 8 one week ago... And unfortunately I had a rare problem with my notifications (whatsapp, viber, and other apps).
I did trust those apps from the system, and followed the instructions from the huawei guide, but the problem still.
So anybody have any idea how to solve this problem.
Thanks
Hi, i want to buy a Mate 8 but I'm not sure for the sync problem for google. what type of problem you have?
it is a great phone but unfortuantely I have the same problem with the google sync as well as not getting any notifications. Please help!
didnt someone mention that putting the phone into performance mode solved this?
Tried it hasn't worked for me
Location Services are not working unless you activate GPS - AL10 model;
Any solutions?
yeah, several other users already reported that energy-saving location services somehow dont seem to work...unless u switch to high-performance mode @gps
Hey guys, I am trying to login to Huawei services and I always get the message "due to service location restrictions the system is unable to provide services to you".
Does anyone knows how to bypass that?

Hello to all and to all .
I'm the proud owner of a mate 8 NXT al10 Chinese version so if I'm not mistaken in 128 GB.
You must excuse me I do not speak any English so I use Google.
being French and not speaking Chinese while the only thing I have a problem with what I use very often with my phone is voice control.
My question is the following "" "Is it easily possible to place a file in the phone that will allow us to use voice commands in multiple languages" ""?
I hope I well expressed and especially as Google is my friend get me well translated.
Thank you to all
what u can do is install the google app from play store and set it as your assistance and voice control app: settings/apps/advanced/default app settings/assistance & voice input
set assist app to google app, that should do it. .

First of all thank you for responding so quickly.
But this solution does not solve anything at all and made some applications malfunction I would say it conflicts with the Huawei applications.
Actually what I want it is a file that can be installed on the phone to turn the Chinese into English French German Italian I think it would help a lot of people.
as far as i know the chinese hivoice control is only available in chinese, thats why i suggested switching to google app... try and disable the chinese voice control when using google app, maybe thatll help with the described conflicts. what exactly did go wrong, in what apps?

If I remember correctly when I tried to install google app from play store when I had chinese firmware it said that it is incompatible with my device. Not 100% sure now having the international firm... Does it work on your AL10 @Phil28?
It's a shame to have to change nxt to l10 l29. to change the language because it seems that there is some great work on the Chinese version of the MUI .From more 128giga version is it supported by the version nxt- l29
Code menu ingénieur *#*#2846579#*#*
While this may be util
i also want to change the chinese language to english in voice control....can any one tell how to change the files???/
i am sure there must be a way as the english version is available in international roms...i am on al10 b350...am quite satisfied with it but just want to change the voice control language...
Hello everyone. I am currently living in China. I wanna buy Huawei Watch 2 (or TicWatch pro), but here I can get only Chinese version with Chinese language. (no GPlay, no Google assistant, no English keyboard)
Most popular messenger here is Wechat, so before buy global version it would be nice to check
DOES WECHAT WORK ON GLOBAL VERSION?
AND IF YES, IS IT CAPABLE REPLY ON MESSAGES BY WECHAT?
So, guys, I'm asking for your help. Please let me know if you have Global version and you use Wechat on the watch.
If you never used Wechat, If it's possible for you, can you download Wechat and try it? You can write to my Wechat to check. My Wechat 13162747693.
I'd really appreciate for your help.
If you have any suggestion you also can write me on email [email protected]
Thanks for your time and have a good day.
Not sure you if you can find wechat apk or from Google play store if you change your system from Chinese to English. When i bought the chinese one i was only on Chinese OS for a day or so and cant recollect what apps are there on the Chinese OS.
Same is the case with Alipay too but somehow i could find apk for it which works fine with mobile wallet.

Thanks for your answer. I checked a lot about this situation. I found out that you can use Wechat if you have it on your phone. After connection Watch automatically install Wechat and it works fine.
Opposite for Alipay. You can find it at app store, but it shows, that you can't install it, because it's not support in your region.
Can you tell me, please, are you staying in China?
How did you install Alipay? From Google store?
