Hello my old friends!
I am trying to find out this for a few days, but could not get any answer from google search or google support either. So I thought I try my (bad) luck here:
A few weeks ago, I bought a Pixel. Since then, my Google App's Weather gives me the datas in English, not in my native language, Hungarian. It would not be a big suprise, since we have a few google services which is still (and will) not available in our language (like Assistant), but I know from my previous Nexus 5X device with custom AOSP ROMs (CM 14.1, DU, PN etc.) that it IS working in Hungarian. So how could it be that the stock ROM is not capable for that and how could I change it? All my language settings are on HUN just like with previous ROMs (which were with OpenGapps). :crying:
?

Hello all,
I just cannot believe what I am seeing!
I currently use CyanogenMod 7 and was sad because I couldn't find voice search in the Market.
After a quick look in the Web Market, I just learn that my Carrier (Base, Belgium) does not allow (see attached screenshot)
After Googling, I just feel alone because no one else reported same issue
Just installed Market Enabler and everything is fine.
I am just astonished to see that such a basic app is country-dependant
Same thing happened to me i just reflashed the rom.. and ofcourse wipe dalvik and wipe data/cache and it went away hope it helps

Lol! Funny thread
Why is that a funny thread?
Because you live in America and you have access to all Google services?
Please think about all other countries that have to cross their fingers each time there is a new product/service/application to know if that will be available in their country.
That's just amazing that we have no information on why we have access to a limited services and having restriction on basic stuff like voice search because we live in other country than America.
I guess voice search is tailored for each language? Hence the lack of support. I know voice search initially supported only English, more languages were added later on. If your language is currently not supported, I guess that would be the reason why it's not available in your country.
Google voice search work pretty well in english and french-dutch-german (our 3 national langages)
Just tried every langage with amazing results.
I had the same issue with YouTube.apk. Market Enabler fixed it again for me, but I remember Google having removed the region-related conditions on app-purchasing... what's up with that?
I am thinking of importing one of these phones to Europe from China. I've read the reviews and seen the videos and I am sold. The only thing holding me back is that this is a phone created for the Chinese market and I live in Europe.
Will I be able to change the language to English and remove the Chinese language from the interface. The videos I've seen show the device using the English language but there are still a lot of UI elements in Chinese (i.e. a video showed someone writing a message using an English keyboard but even that had some Chinese buttons).
Another video showed the installation of Google Play Store (as it does not come preinstalled) and even the Google apps had Chinese text written next to the English name of the app.
I'm fine with all Chinese text in Xiaomi apps like their own app store (as I will not use those apps) but I would like the rest of the phone be entirely in English.
Thank you.

The OS default has English as an option. But bear in mind, the phone is designed for Mainland China market,so some software,features you will not be able to use it else where. Surely ,can flash with your own ROM. It is a great phone with competitive price.

How much did you pay for it?
Is it announced a UK release date in UK?

I ended up paying 385 Euro for the 64GB version. This price includes DHL shipping cost to have the phone shipped to Cyprus. I also expect to pay import charges when I receive it.
I don't think they announced any releases outside of China. From what I remember reading online there might be an international version of the phone coming out during Christmas.
The retailer price for MI4 64GB is about 320Euro then you can work out how much the shipping cost would be.

Yeah, don't worry about the language. Just use the multi language ROM from miuiandroid.com. Comes pre loaded with Google play services, Chinese apps are removed, and is pre-rooted. It is also updated weekly with the official MIUI ROM.

Hi I downloaded 8.5.5.0 and when installing with the updater app, I receive a message "Cant verify update - its not allowed to upgrade to unofficial ROM package"
Do I need to change any settings ?
Hi everybody,
my name is Vincenzo. I am an italian guy and i have found a solution for anyone who wants to change language in Google Maps (or any other app) without changing system language. I registered only for this, I hope can help. (sorry for my bad english)
You need:
- Root, Xposed
- App Settings version 1.13
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3543022&d=1447594751
After accepting module, go to App Settings, found your app and set on "Settings". There is an option, "Locale". Choose your language (only for this app!) and save on the top , right.
My Maps now is in Italian (with Italian voice).
Tested with Moto G Titan, MM 6.0.1 - AOSP CAF
Serious question. I understand many want to rebrand Chinese ROM to international L29 ROM. But why? My understanding is that you can change AL00 system language to English and you can install Google Play (and services). You can even uninstall all the Chinese bloatware apps via Huawei's Application Store manager app.
So what are the pros and cons? Surely there will be more updates too with the AL00 ROM considering Huawei is a Chinese manufacturer?
So why debrand? Why not just stick to AL00 and do all the above? What am I missing?
Personally I use chineese ROM in Europe from beginning, the updates on alc00 seems to be faster and chineese had more optional features like translating from chineese, or object recognitionin camera, on nougat in chineese ROM you can aalso hide nav bar, my network on 4g/lte working as fine as on Europe rom
On China ROM I suggest to flash core Google apps and make factory reset. Full version of gaaps can mess a lot and replace original Huawei package installer, gallery or calendar.
In addition to gahu777 post.
Pros of Chinese ROM:
- HiSuite and eRecovery support. In some cases it will rescue time and nerves
- Faster ROM release cycle
- Beta ROMs program
Cons:
- Some Chinese symbols in dialer. You have to install 3rd-party dialer to avoid.
- Bad Google Apps support. Chinese ROM has Google Apps, but in some cases they don't work or are not work properly. Example: geolocation history:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/help/location-history-t3634898
There is one thing what is not bad and not good:
Behavior of memory killer. On chinese ROM it is more aggressive than on world ROMs. You have to tune apps to get instant notifications from these apps
Another inconvenience: GPS location errors (in my case several km ... :crying
Otherwise, the Chinese applications had a certain charm , with a beautiful graphics, but not speaking Mandarin, I made big stupid
Since the transformation from AL00C00 to AL29C636, everything is fine & I will not come back :good:

Hi there! Some one can help me to rebrand? I really like to change my Chinese version to a global version!
I'm coming from OnePlus and I really mess out a pure Android version!
Thanks in advance!
Hello, since yesterday I am a proud owner of the Honor Magic 2.
But how can I change the language of the stock HiKeyboard?
As you can see in the screenshot, there is no possibility for adding a language.
I want to have a german keyboard...
I hope someone can help me,
with kind regards
DGB
The only thing I can think of is, to install google services (if you don't have it) and install any keyboard app you like from play store
