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

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

I ran into a problem with the recent update to the Google Text-To-Speech app.
I was testing out and trying to decide between the new high quality US and UK English voices. Somehow my default language for speech got locked into UK English: I can no longer change it to anything else, even though my default device language is US English and I have downloaded both the low and high quality US English voices.
See my screenshots - despite me changing my chosen language to US English in the Google Text-to-speech Engine settings in the 1st screenshot, once I hit the back button (or exit via the home / recent apps buttons), my default language reverts to UK English as per the 2nd screenshot.
Is there any system file I can edit to change this absurd behaviour? I'm rooted and willing to get my hands dirty...
UPDATE:
I played around with settings and managed to resolve the problem.
Clearing data from / un- and re-installing the app / restoring data from another device didn't work - what did work was choosing another default device language (NOT the voice language under Text-to-speech output). This somehow released the "lock" on UK speech and allowed me to choose US instead. I then reverted the default device language to US English.
All is now good in the world :victory:
Trying going to Google Text-to-speech or Google TTS, whichever one it is, in the app settings and clear data.

That was one of the first things I tried, but it didn't help.
Anyway I managed to resolve the problem already. Gonna update the OP.

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 ?
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

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).

Hi community,
I am too afraid of bricking my phone for googlefier, but I came up with a solution that works at least okayish for me: The ourplay app.
I had to not only set my phone to chinese but I also ended up buying a chinese simcard so I could change my language back to english, but it does work okay. A bit of Google translating is required, and it won't always make sense, but it works alright.
For my fellow Pokemon Go Players: No, it doesn't work for me. I think buying VIP might make it work but my Google Translate's Chinese to English translation is a bit messy. --> If anyone got Pokemon Go to work in Ourplay, please share your secret with me!
I would love to discuss the Ourplay solution with you guys on here.
Hello! Have you tried Googlefier? I'm on .182 firmware and installed it without a problem, it even upgrades google play services from the play store itself. Just skip the part that reminds you the incompatibility with software and see what happens. Otherwise try Aurora Store. Pokemon Go uses a lot the GMS framework and cores app so if you can't install completely the GMS i think it can't function correctly. Sorry for my bad english, i hope this can be useful.
I tried googlefier, but it just didnt work for me. How many tries did it take you to get it to work? Did you try it on a P40?
Yes i've an ANA-NX9 device. At the First try It installed and works perfectly from that day, in android auto works the voice match too! Is your device european? I've bought the device from eBay and It Is a brand TIM, but can't see any TIM app or custom logo in It.
