Is there a way to add languages that are not listed in the options? - General Questions and Answers

Hello. So my issue is: My dad bought himself a Gigaset ME unfortunatly the Smartphone has very limited language options and doesn't support my dads native language. Which is weird since all the android phones i've had always supported 30+ languages. Now i'm looking for a way to add or enable a language in android since it would improve the useability for him by alot.
Unfortunately i haven't found anything useful on the net how to accomplish something like that. I would guess it could be possible with a custom rom? But given the phone isn't very popular i can't find much on that either and i'm not very knowledgable about stuff like that (i can barely manage to root a phone).
Hope someone has a idea and can help us out or confirm if there is no way to accomplish adding a language to the phone. Thanks alot!

Mytouch 3g Slide in Japanese

Hi everyone!
I am trying to find a way to make my wife's Mytouch 3g Slide display the operating system in Japanese. I've found a couple helpful apps like Simeji for input and SetJapan for the region settings. With these I can send/read texts and emails in Japanese, and some apps that supported Japanese are now in Japanese (like Google Maps). However the system menus are still in English.
Is there a way to change the whole OS to a Japanese version of android (like the HT-03a), or something to the same effect? I was looking into rooting the phone and seeing what I could do, but I wanted to see if it was even possible to achieve the desired results first. Any thoughts?
Ok, well not a very lively topic I see. I suppose I will look into making my own rom then.

a NEVER-solved-problem: SMS encoding/decoding or character set

Hi,
This is a great great problem in my country without a solution yet:
Turkish characters are not shown in the recieved SMSs. Instead of them only a space there.
For example:
written by another phone and sent to android: "yoğurt yiyorum şu anda"
the recieved message: "yo urt yiyorum u anda"
The phones which are bought from Turkey and not flashed a custom rom don't have this problem.
They (actually, all the phones those are sold here, in Turkey) have an expression on their boxes: “This device is in accordance with ETSI TS 123.038 V8.0.0 (or the code of the subsequent version) and ETSI TS 123.040 V8.1.0 (or the code of the subsequent version) technical features that include all the Turkish characters.”
I think, the custom ROMs are not in accordance with these standards.
I have two android phones at the moment: a Galaxy Spica i5700 (bought from Turkey), and a Nexus S (which I bought from US).
Spica had the Turkish characters first. But I have rooted and flashed the phone, so lost the characters. Since I don't have the original ROM, I can not get them back...
Until here, I tried to describe the problem.
Now I will give what I have that can help to solve the problem:
1- ETSI links: They are not the exact versions but the closest that I could find.
ETSI TS 123 038 V8.3.0
ETSI TS 123 040 V9.2.0
2- An Original Turkish ROM: it's for Galaxy S i9000

It will be a great favor if anyone can solve this problem...
Thanks in advance,

I think you are possibly doing this in the wrong area. I think that if you want traction with a change like this, that you would need to do one of three things.
1) Contact maintainers or on the boards of a ROM you like to use (Cyanogen, etc)
2) Try to get it noticed by Google on their official Bug Tracker and Feature Request Tracker for support in stock Android OS
3) Code the fix yourself, Cyanogen source and "AOSP" stock android are available, and introducing character-set capabilities into the messaging app aren't exactly trivial things, however, with time and dedication I am sure it is possible.
I agree that foreign character coding out of stock Android isn't always there, or if it is, it isn't universal across all of the stock applications (like your example of SMS/Messaging application). Does this do this also in GoogleVoice? Or maybe you don't have access to Google Voice since you are outside of the US.
First, I want to thank you a lot for spending your time to answer
I tried your second advice but did not get a solution, yet. Still waiting.
I wanted to try the 3rd one too, actually. But I need to gain more computer/coding skills to achieve that. I could not even find an understandable guide to learn (or maybe I am too noob to understand).
So, the remaining advice is the first one and I am going to take it immediately
As you said, since I am outside of the US, I do not have access to Google Voice, unfortunately.
But, if it is ok for you, I can send a message to your google voice to check it.
by the way, ofcourse, it is not only a problem of Turkey, but also Spain, France etc.. I could not find a solution in their forums, neither.
Thanks again, for your help.

How to add a language from another ROM?

Hello,
The stock ROMs for this device, the Sprint Note5, provide some languages as options for a display language, but my native language isn't among them, I thought that maybe by using files from an international ROM with its support, it can work and be added, unfortunately, I have no idea how to, Google didn't help in that regard, and existing applications (Wanam's) that enable languages don't work as desired.
If someone could guide me into how to do it, I would be very thankful.
