Hi Everyone.
I'm hoping someone will have a solution for me coz this problem is driving me mad now. Anytime I use Google Now/Voice search, the response is being read out in US English, as opposed to UK English, it used to be in the UK variant but something, somewhere must have changed.
I've resorted to restoring a UK ROM and wiping the device totally, including local storage so it got returned to being a device straight out of the box.
No matter have many settings to do with region that I find and make sure is set to English UK, it always speaks in US. Whats even more frustrating is, it's only this that's doing it, anything else that uses TTS speaks in the correct English, UK.
Any help would be great, even if someone knows what the language data is stored so I can delete it and see if it's then forced to use the UK variant. I've checked all around my actual Google account to see if it's getting a language setting from that, but again, everything is set to UK.

I have my language set to English but when I bring up S-voice it show it to me in French. I tried changing the language to french, then back to english but it still shows french. Can some one help? What do I need to do? Factory default maybe? I love the phone but this is crazy. Any help would be great!!!! Thanks.
If anyone has the same or simular issue with S-Voice
I figured it out. If you go into manage apps and scroll down to s-voice, you can clear the data. This will allow S-voice to default to your appropriate language. I bought this phone from some international whole sale company. It must have been used or at least set to French language and then defaulted back. Some how the S-Voice was stuck on French language. Hope this helps someone else out.
Thanks You

You certainly helped me buddy. Thanks. I just got S3 after no smart phones for over a year. I love this thing, but really was frustrated with French instruction for S-Voice. Mind you I am not too thrilled about S-voice itself but at least I can make work in a language I understand. Thanks a million!!!http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/good.gif
Title is exactly what Im trying to do.
I have a GNex. But have my phone in German.
Because of this Google Search and Google Now are also in german.
And Google voice no longer talks back to me
Even though I have changed my setting(or so I think) to english.
Google Now still defaults to giving me search results for google.de
Is there a way I can keep my phone in german, but have my voice search talk and answer in english?
Thank you in advance.
This thread could be used for any language.
Maybe you could also have your phone set in spanish, but talk to it in english
bump ? anybody know this

I got the One X+ last night from Telus (in Canada) and the voice search doesn't seem to be talking back regardless of what I change. I've also made sure the volume is up.
I've found that it seems either HTC or Telus has only provided English (Canada) as the only English selection in the devices system language. Could this be the culprit?
Is anyone else having issues with voice search talking back on a Telus HTC One X+?
Edit: Answered my own question. As I suspected, that was the cause of the issue. Gotta love when companies cripple features on phones by changing silly settings. Installed Locale Select (can't post the link, it's called Set Locale and Language in the Play Store) and changed to English (US) and it's working fine now.

Hey Archangel
I had the same issue and was wondering why was it not working, but now thanks to the idea you had now it talks back to me too.
Thank you very much :victory:
Hi.
My name is Martin.
I live in Latvia and that's where the problem is. I can't use Google now, because it ain't available in my country yet. I tried going in options but it wouldn't even give me an option to enable the Google now. OK, I understand it cannot offer much useful information, because Latvia isn't made available yet, but I want to enable it anyway.
Is there a way to enable Google now without actually moving to US or something?

i think you can use vpn or ssh of american to enable google now in your phone, but if google service not availble in your country, google now will not be so useful in your country too
Google at least exists in Latvia (evidenced by http://www.google.lv/ ), but I have no idea about when the Google Now service will be implemented.
I know this doesn't help much, but this is good for me to know, since I'm planning a visit to Latvia fairly soon, and even tossed around the idea of teaching English there.
you should set your device's language to English US, then go to apps, google search, app info, and delete all data, swipe you screen for google search, and you're good to go.

If it's not under the normal language settings, I'd contact your phone operator/the place where you bought it. Given that it's Spanish you shouldn't be the only one with this problem.
EDIT: actually, I just googled a bit and apparently the really ship it without Spanish? If that really is the case and you absolutely need the phone in Spanish you might need to root it and use another rom (phone-software). Check the S3 forums on xda, ask around there what other people did to solve the issue.
Thanks
Thanks. Yeah. It sucks that most Samsung phones in Canada only have 3/4 language choices.
Inglish, French and Korean. Question......if i change the room, can i use stock rooms from other carriers that are similar models as my phone?
